Wonderful time. Felt like we had been transported back in time to the 1960s, when service was a real pleasure.

Tons of character
We enjoyed our stay and the staff was wonderful as well as the daily breakfast. The location is perfect to get to the beach as well as other attractions nearby. The rooms are older and if you like sleek new hotels this isn't it. But, it has tons of character

Alma the lady at the lobby is awesome very attentive, pleasant and amazing hard worker. Breakfast was delicious. The room was good just a suggestion they need to add blackout curtains for more privacy, and the streaming on the tv is very slow to other than that the place is in a very good location.

Wonderful historic hotel between sound & ocean
Beautiful historic hotel. Did not expect hot cooked breakfast each morning & social hour every afternoon. Delicious! Comfortable accommodations & for being so old, very quiet. Did not hear the people above us. Short walk to the beach. Beautiful grounds & nice pool. Bikes, beach chairs & towels provided.

I had an exceptionally positive experience at this establishment. It is a historical site situated in close proximity to the beach. Upon our arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to find a wine social in progress, and a delicious breakfast was also provided for us. I highly recommend this location.

2/10 Poor

Weird when staff can’t find beach towels for a “supposed” beach front property. Room was filthy, shower barely big enough to turn around in. Best to tear it all down and start over as The Second Colony Inn.
