Edgewater Inn And Suites

Edgewater Inn And Suites

8/10 Good
"Rooms vary. We changed from a cramped 2 queen subpar room to a better 2queen room. More room and better condition than the first room, which had a tiny balcony with very little view of the ocean. The sliding screen door was not attached, and bathroom had no working fan or window. Outdoor pool was too cold, but hot tub was fine. Not much offered for breakfast. No juice or milk."

"First, my room and the overall grounds were spotless. Second, there was an AMPLE dog relief area - right in front of my room. Third, the complimentary breakfast was superb. Fourth, the desk staff were very courteous. In conclusion, this hotel DESERVES a top rating."

"This is a great little inn with cottages and a cute little creek. We stayed in a cottage, and it was roomy and had it's own hot tub! We enjoyed the hotel and it was walking distance to the main shopping and dining areas."
