I enjoyed the Mason Beach Inn and will definitely stay there again.
Pros:

Adrian was very welcoming upon arrival. I was very pleased with the cleanliness and size of the guest rooms. There was very strong water pressure in the shower too. The Mason Beach Inn is conveniently located only a block away from the beach and walking distance to the Funk Zone and State Street.

Cons:

There was a discrepancy in the cost for parking; the online check-in quoted both $18/night and $14/night.

Pretty and well located but extra charges can add up.
Pros:

The fact that this property had a pool and jacuzzi was very nice, along with the more newly updated rooms.

Located close to the beach and walkable to State Street and Funk Zone.

Cons:

Unfortunately our trip did not start out ideallly. We’d called ahead and arrived in the lobby to ask about early check in. Both times we were told that cleaning staff were unavailable/on break and for us to check back in an hour. (Not a “we’ll call you when it’s ready” or “we can switch you to this room that is ready” but “just come back and check again”.) Mind you, this was a Sunday evening, off season and it was clear there was vacancy.

The evening and next morning staff were much nicer and made up for the lack of service in the afternoon/check in experience.

While overall nicely done hotel with the remodel, it felt like everything was an upcharge. Parking- fee, bikes- fee to rent, want to join an hour early or leave one hour later- that’ll cost you. Opt for wine instead of complimentary beer- that’s a charge.

Nice to have so many options but having to request a (free) mini fridge and microwave sort of seem like standards now, not amenities.
