Loved the location - right across from the beach. Loved that you had a code to get into the room instead of a card that could demagnetize at an inopportune time. Rooms spacious.

Very impressed with how clean it was, and the employees were very friendly. Very walkable to the beach, and close proximity to the town. TVs also had great channels and access to Netflix. Rooms were very spacious and the front office had complimentary cookies, coffee, and tea.

Enjoyed My Stay at Sea Otter Inn

Overall, a very good stay. I just wished the carpet between the beds had been cleaner and the shower head offered more flexibility. The staff were kind and helpful. The beds were comfortable and clean, and the room had a charming look. It was also nice to have access to the outdoor pool and hot tub.

The breakfast wasn’t included due to going through Expedia. Wendy was rude about going through Expedia and would not even help me with a mistake that was made in scheduling. She really shouldn’t be in hospitality. Doug knew something was up because he stayed to witness this interaction and let his colleague continue to be rude!
