Our stay at The Inn at East Beach was unfortunately disappointing. The motel looked nothing like the photos online, which felt incredibly misleading. The rooms and overall cleanliness were below expectations, and it was clear the property hasn’t been maintained to the standard the pictures suggest. The location is convenient being close to the beach was the one bright spot of our stay. The staff was generally fine, but when we requested five additional towels, the front desk responded with, “You need five towels?” in a tone that felt unnecessary and a bit uncomfortable. Another issue was the lobby: the incense smell was so strong it was overwhelming every time we walked through. It didn’t create a welcoming atmosphere and actually made it hard to breathe comfortably. There was a broken chair near the garbage can in the main outdoor gathering area that remained our entire stay. The shower walls and bathroom walls had spackling that had not been finished. There was mold around both bathroom windows. The paint on the concrete around the pool is peeling. They do have a small fenced in dog bathroom area, which was helpful. Overall, the proximity to the beach was great, but the deceptive photos, lack of cleanliness, and odd customer service moments made this stay far from what we expected. (I wish I could add photos to this review.) I would have selected different accommodations, and I would have been willing to pay more for a cleaner less deceptive place.
