The Mermaid Inn

The room looked as if was getting remolded and would be nice. Nice location on the beach. Beds was pretty nice.

Great location

It was very clean, and peaceful. We did have to call 911 because of a domestic in the room next to us but it was taken care of within minutes. I was extremely triggered by it but was reassured by the management team that if I needed anything that they would take care of it.

Very simple yet very clean, quiet and very enjoyable

Only decent things were location wasn't a far walk to the beach and dog friendly. I have absolutely nothing good to say about how it is run, the quality, value, safety, or the fact that 5 star ratings are bought with the promise of a free late check out. NONE OF THE 5 STAR RATINGS ARE TRUE, THEY'RE BOUGHT!!! It's a CRAPPY, CHEAP hotel with no deadbolts, a regular lock that wasn't working half the time and was really hard to get into your room with which wouldn't have been as big of a problem but, no staff on location to help you with anything, dishonest practices, and you can do better for the price. These should be $20-$50 a night rooms depending on the size. And they don't tell you until after you've paid that the dog fee is separate and will cost you another $56.50. I know the price is sooo tempting (we fell for all the good reviews), but just don't fall for it, especially if you have a dog. For close to $200 for 1 night during off season, it was DEFINITELY NOT WORHT IT. There was mold all over the shower, even in the shower head. Yes, you're showering in moldy water. I'm very allergic to mold, big deal for me. The fridge was dirty inside. Doesn't matter how cute something is if dirty. Long, black hair on the toilet. What was that cleaning fee for? Muggy rooms with A/C that can't keep up, no elevators-put on the 3rd floor of near empty hotel, sooo much barking, noisy cheap mattresses, broken furniture outside, door between the 2 rooms didn't shut properly-so much for privacy, I wasn't strong enough to shut that door.Door to connecting room wasn't even locked! Torn curtain that doesn't shut (people walking by see right into your room that you don't have a deadbolt for) letting light coming in with a broken window. And it stinks something awful, like a dirty litter box! It looks better in the pics than actually is. Bookings hung up on me when I called for help!!!

Location is great

Once i finally git checked into the room the accommodations and location were perfect. The virtual check-in process was frustrating. Once i finally got a live human on the phone i was checked in and could get into my room after sitting in the parking lot for 45 minutes.

Very nice and clean rooms .. loved the area .. thank you

There was a roach

Nothing

So be aware that you were getting what you pay for in this hotel it has been somewhat remodeled to an art deco style and the staff was helpful, but check-in and out was very awkward. Somewhat pleased with the price but definitely got what I paid for that price it was average on cleanliness

The location to the beach was in walking distance from inn. The staff seemed nice.

THIS WAS THE ABSOLUTE WORST EXPERIENCE. MY FRIENDS AND I PLANNED TO HAVE A WONDERFUL GIRLS WEEKEND. FIRST HOURS, WE THOUGHT THERE WERE ANTS...TEXTED....THEY WERE ROACHES - EVERYWHERE! WE DID NOT SLEEP. CONTACTED THEM SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH THE NIGHT AND SENT PICS AND VIDEOS. TOLD THEM WE WERE CHECKING OUT THE NEXT DAY....APPARENTLY, NOW HAVING TO DISPUTE AND FIGHT WITH THEM. SO EMBARASSING TO ME AS I PLANNED THE TRIP ON A BUDGET. I HAVE MY CREDIT CARD COMPANY AND EXPEDIA INVOLVED BECAUSE I WILL NOT PAY FOR THAT. SO DISGUSTING AND UNSANITARY! NOW, HERE'S TO SEEING IF THEY WILL DO THE RIGHT THING!!!

DONNIS HAUSER/JULY 2025

Roaches, mouse droppings, cigarette burn holes in the sheets, stains in the towels, pubes in the bathroom, AC not working in the middle of June. After staying in the room for less than an hour, we requested a refund and after providing proof, we were denied because we didn’t give them the opportunity to clean the room. If there’s roaches, there’s roaches. New sheets aren’t going to change that. Communication was a nightmare. Photos on Expedia and other websites were a misrepresentation of the property. Staff was HORRIBLE and never responded to my emails when I requested a further explanation. Other guests smoking a bong on the steps was the cherry on top! Save yourself time and money and don’t book here. Wish I could give zero stars. We were in town for a funeral and Mermaid Inn made the weekend so much worse.

Nothing not a good place to stay.
