Ocean Shores Inn & Suites

How bad could it possibly be? You might be asking yourself this question as you browse these reviews hoping to find some truth in and amongst the subjective experiences of people with certain expectations. I ask for very little in a motel: a place to rest one's head for the night. Somehow this establishment failed to even provide that. What should have been my first red flag were all the reviews mentioning mold. "Surely these people must be overreacting to a small corner" I thought. Not so for indeed the entire ceiling of the bathroom was speckled with that unmistakable black mold that so many of us have known from substandard living spaces. Thankfully, one doesn't sleep in the bathroom, but that brings us to the bed. I have slept rough before, but this tops them all. Namely, a foam rubber topper over the world's most put upon mattress providing a sleeping surface so hot and uneven that Frank Gehry would look to it for inspiration. After two hours of lying in the worst bed on Earth, I resigned to stay up the night. I will not be returning to this establishment under any circumstances, and I advise you stay away as well. The price is simply not worth it.

After all I had a terrible experience at this place The bathrooms is full of mold all around the tub, fortiture and building old, terrible conditions, door lock broken feels unsafe, no waters in the room, water is not hot dirty carpets with lots of stains and smelly room. person at the front desk overnight He was very nice, I should get my money back.

This hotel was so dirty, our socks turned black walking on the floors. Everything was musty and smelly. The only good thing I can say is the beds were pretty comfortable. I had to wipe off tables and chairs before we could even use them. I would never stay here again. for the price. It’s not worth it

The rooms looked nothing like the pictures online. Very old and run down. Big crack under the door. Definitely would not stay here again

Old and run down

It was quiet. The rooms were clean but had a faint smell when we walked in not sure what it was. Liked the fact it had a kitchenette that was very convient. Next time want to stay longer. Loved the gift shops and going down to the beach to fly kites.

We arrived and they sent us to a room that was not cleaned and the beds had all been slept in. I called for assistance and they said “well it says it was cleaned”. In a room that sleeps 6, we had 4 towels, and 4 pillows for two queen beds. And there’s no way the room sleeps 6 unless you brought a cot. They advertise that there is a stocked kitchen, however the pots and pans and appliances were all in rough shape. The bathrooms were dirty on the floors. When we went to the front desk to ask for more towels and pillows we were given ONE pillow. Because they were out of pillows. The towels were very small and incredibly thin. There are two pools onsite and no pool towels. The staff were friendly but not very helpful. And the whole property looks run down with rooms that don’t even have closing doors. Even the windows don’t have screens. If I had another place to stay, I would have left because this was not as advertised. The pictures from the website are NOTHING like the actual property. Even the ice machine didn’t work. Clearly they are doing some remodeling in some rooms, but overall the place was unacceptable.

Well they were able to move us to a different room, after we found someone's dirty underwear behind the bathroom door of our previous room.

Some pictures online are deceiving, and the rooms need updating.

There is a reason you can book this place two weeks out from desired trip dates. The facility needs a lot of upkeep, the procedure to check in was inconvenient, the room was kind of clean but I didn't want to use the bathroom.!
