"This was our third stay at the Inlet Inn. The staff is outstanding, very helpful and professional. We love waking up in the morning and enjoying our breakfast while watching activities at the marina. We were in room 107 this time. The room is spacious, clean, comfortable and quiet. But, I guess they have been flooded once too often. The ugly vinyl floor is popping up so that we had a puffy floor. The decor is no longer charming. It’s more basic hotel vibe. We miss the charm of our first visit, several years ago."
