What it lacks in decor makes up for with location

Liked:The location of this inn is why we booked it - easy to walk to beach and pier and into downtown. As mentioned previously the decor is dated but the room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was ok with the normal pastries and coffee available. Pool was clean and you can get bikes from the sister hotel opposite at no extra charge, which we made full use of. Check in staff were not as helpful as on previous hotels and inns we stayed in out our trip.

Don’t go to this hotel! No compassion!

Liked:We had a reservation for 2 nights. It was non refundable. The night before we left, my father in MA had emergency surgery and he is not expected to survive, so we had to cancel our trip to go to MA. We contacted the hotel and a very nice woman had me leave a message with her manager, Greg, which I did. She also told me I had to cancel through Capital One, and to have them contact Greg. They did, and he refused to give us a refund OR a voucher to return. (We plan to do our trip in July when the crisis has passed.) I can’t believe that a business could be so cruel in a situation like this! We were SO looking forward to staying at Lavendar Inn by the Sea, but never again!!

The Gauging of Prices in America

Liked:The room was clean but not as lovely as the images show. They served a light breakfast which was included. However, I was disappointed to find extra charges beyond our confirmed room rate of $255.00 for one night. The fact they charged an extra $30.60 "Room bed tax" and another $5.10 TBID (whatever that is!) made it unlikely we would return.

Don't get fooled by the pictures, the property is creepy and age old

Disliked:Age old property. Pictures shown on booking.com were taken centuries ago.
