Older hotel was obviously renovated but with useful additions. Room was clean, bed was comfortable and whirlpool was exquisite. So nice to have plates and silverware in room so you can have some meals in room on balcony. Loved it!

Our stay is always great at the Schooner Inn.
My only complaint is that this Labor day weekend our beach front was blocked by 3 days of music concerts and surf competition; so music all night was tough to deal with when wanting to relax.
We still look forward to coming and love our hotel.
We appreciate you and your staff.

Location is excellent, and the staff were all friendly and helpful. Our room was a bit run down and in need of an update, with a noisy air conditioning unit and a safe that didn't work.

The location is great. The unit was very well equipped. The building is older but very clean. Parking was convenient. We were right on the beach so we just walked out every morning. The staff was very nice and helpful.

This is a family hotel. Old school. Old fashion. Do not expect a fancy, sterile environment... it's not. What it is ...is: right on the beach, reasonably priced, clean and well staffed. Was my second time there ... and would go back.

Hotel is on the older side but we will definitely stay again. Staff is excellent and that goes for housekeeping as well. Entire place was clean including room. The view from our room was fantastic, easy access to go fish, get on the trolley etc., We wanted to surprise our granddaughter for her birthday and the staff went above and beyond to help accommodate us with adjoining rooms so we could surprise her as she didn't know we'd be there....the look on their faces when they opened the door to our room and saw us...absolutely PRICELESS..so thank you Schooner Inn!

We loved how we were able to walk right out to the beach from the suite. Loved how it wasn’t as busy as the other side of the pier. EVERYONE on the staff was so friendly and helpful. We definitely will be staying here again.
