Pros:

Location was great and loved the 2 floor rooms! Very spacious!

Cons:

Thought we had an ocean view but part of the building jetted out and blocked the entire view. That was disappointing!!

Cons:

Grundlegend ist das Hotel ok aber viel zu teuer das man aus Pappteller und Pappbecher trinken muss... in der Preisklasse dürfte man Teller und Gläser erwarten. Wenn Kaffee angeboten wird und es keine Becher hat man es meldet an der Rezeption und als Antwort erhält ja in 40 Minuten wird wieder aufgefüllt ist das schon eher fraglich...

Needs remodeling and not worth the price of $500 per night. A lot of seaweed on the beach.
Pros:

Bathroom was extremely dirty and old. The shower/tub had mildew and mold. There were spots on the lamp shades as if someone splattered coffee on them. The back sliding door with "a view" was deteriorated with spots that seemed to be on the interior of the glass and the people on the upper floor walked like elephants. This was NOT worth the price I paid for this room. This room desperately needed updating for the price.

Cons:

The room/bathroom needs to be updated.

Not enjoyable. Blood on toilet seat, brown spots on shower curtain, view of stairs, room beside stairs, skylight not working until we put batteries in it. Soil stains on couch mattress.

Pleasantly surprised
Pros:

We just got back from a weekend at Ocean Mist. We were very happy with this beach hotel. I had seen reviews that were not that great , so was not sure what to expect. We were very pleased with Loft suite. Very clean , looked exactly like the photos. We would definitely stay there again.

What a dump!
Pros:

What a dump! Exorbitant prices for a worn out motel billed as a hotel. Over $1,000 for a two night stay. Never even replenished amenities.

Disappointed
Pros:

Location was nice. Rooms were dirty and falling apart. Not worth what you are paying for. They look nothing like they advertise for them on social media and their website. Our room was no cleaned upon check in. Food was found under our bed from previous guests, black smudge marks on our shower curtain, stained pillows, upon much more.

Great location but not best value
Pros:

Location: Best feature: pool, beach, firepit for making s'mores.
Rooms: clean, but very dated furniture and an inefficient layout. The room was damp. With the A/C on, it was cool, but the air was damp.
Value: Not the best value for money. For the $/day, if you pay up a bit, you could probably find something better.

Great experience
Pros:

We had a wonderful family stay at this hotel. It is family-friendly and a great place to relax. It needs a bit of maintenance, and the mattresses could do with replacing for the sake of comfort, but overall it was excellent.

August Family Vacation
Pros:

We had an absolutely wonderful time! This year we made it an entire family vacation, renting 4 rooms for the 14 of us. It couldn't have been more perfect. We ALL love the Ocean Mist - and the kids especially loved being right near the ocean!! Thank you all for a very memorable stay!

Disappointed stay
Pros:

After a day of traveling I arrived with my family. Our first room was disappointing because the light in the bathroom didn’t work. The hotel did not have one in stock and we had to move rooms at 9 o’clock at night. The next room had a working bathroom light but had stains on the roof and the tv kept rebooting every 15 minutes the refrigerator was also smaller and there was no kitchenette. The pool did not have towels when we initially arrived and the hot tub did not have working jets. For the amount of money we paid for the room I would’ve expected a better hotel experience.

Dirty AND smelly. Save your money and go camping
Pros:

We booked after seeing a social media ad and were surprised they had availability for our dates. Unfortunately, once we saw the property, it became clear why.

The room was in very poor condition. There was visible mold growing up the walls and on the bathroom ceiling, several pieces of furniture were broken, the carpet was filthy, and the room had a strong unpleasant odor. We asked to change rooms, but the overall cleanliness of the property, including the indoor and outdoor pool areas, was disappointing.

To make matters worse, I woke up covered in what appeared to be bug bites. The entire experience was incredibly uncomfortable and left us wishing we had just gone camping instead.

This stay was a huge disappointment, and I would not return or recommend this property. Even more frustrating was they refused to refund!

Excellent
Pros:

We just got back from the Cape, my husband and I and my brother and his wife and we stayed at the ocean mist and we read the reviews and they were pretty bad but I’m telling you right now that place was nice. I loved it. I’d go again! Adrienne at the front desk was wonderful. We got to check in at four and our rooms was so clean and we love the deck outside our room where we could chat with my brother and his wife we shared the deck. And we love the beach. They had the chairs out there for us and the beach home where you could go sit in and watch TV and a large table for gatherings.There was also coffee and waters etc.
It was really nice. We would go back again. I give it a five star and if I could suggest anything Don’t go by the reviews so much because I was a little scared and everything was beautiful. The rooms were so clean and everybody was so nice !! Give it a try you won’t regret it.

Not a great experience
Pros:

Not a great experience. Ice machine never worked, the bed was like a rock. The smallest bathroom I have ever had at a resort or hotel. The coffee pot location had no outlet to plug it in. Internet was non existent so I could not go onto my IPad to do anything. It was a huge let down from what the description and pictures show.
