Beautiful stay.

I was so pleasantly surprised with this hotel. It’s an older hotel but very well taken care of. I loved the vibe of it. The deco was well put together and designed. It’s a beautiful hotel. Stay in the king with ocean view. Nice bathtub as well. The restaurant was pretty good I just wish they had a more traditional breakfast... Loved the bed and just overall blown away...there were no hidden fees and I was able to park on the street. Great vibe can’t wait to come back.

This is a beautiful, charming boutique hotel with fantastic views of the ocean. The staff was warm and welcoming - from the valet, to the front desk, to the bartenders (the mojo jojo cocktail … soooo good!), to the restaurant hosts and servers. The room was spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean. Love the heated floors in the bathroom and the private balcony. No coffee or minibar in the rooms. Not a big deal for me, but something to know. I would absolutely come back for another weekend getaway. Highly recommend.

Lovely and quaint

Hidden gem, would go again for sure! Very nice location and very accommodating staff. Right across from the beach and close to downtown and the zoo. Has a nice pool and hot tub, lovely restaurant that the locals like. Can’t wait to go again!!!!

Our 2nd NYE visit to SB Inn, and it was simply wonderful. The facility is not only beautiful, but immaculately clean and well cared for. The crew is always friendly and welcoming - it's obvious they truly enjoy working at SB Inn. Value, Location, Full Service and Quality of Facility would be the perfect way to describe this beautiful place. Can't wait to return.

Vacation * Family

Hotel was nice and the room was spacious and comfortable. Bed was nice to sleep in. Bathroom was large and had a tub to soak in. The staff were super friendly and helpful from the valet attendants to the front desk. We had breakfast in the morning and it was so pleasant seeing the beach in the distance. We would come back here when visiting SB again.
