“worth the 50 bucks”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Hello folks, just a few words of my thoughts. I came here in December for a few days and I'm here again in Feb. This places is not like what people tend to make it out to be with the reviews. We like it here because the of price, indoor pool and staff are honest. I asked about things to make my stay better, they helped. It's nothing to write home about, and yes you'll find folks to pick it apart I'm sure. It's clean, quiet, safe and affordable most of all. One may go and can pay $100 a night and get better but some folks rather not. Complaining about this place is pointless unless you did have a problem. I asked twice about certain things, staff were right on it, what more can be done. I really like this area, there is so much to explore, really nice sites and friendly folks. Coming here to this place to rest afterward has met my needs. I came here for the area not the looks of this place. I have asked for the same room as last because of the bed and in all my nights away from home, this one is the best. These people seem to care here and will do what they can to make your stay enjoyable, that's all one can ask for the rest is up to you. I thank all the folks here and will plan returning again soon, have fun in life folks, take care.

“GOOD PLACE TO STAY”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

We came to the COURTESY INN because 1 of our friends recommend this place .
We are a family of 5 so we had to ask for a large room and they gave us the family room with 3 beds for a good price , the staff are very helpful and the rooms are very clean.
My kids enjoy that large indoor pool they have, we recommend this place and will be back.

Room Tip: upstairs rooms are more quiet.

“Too many other choices nearby”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

Desk person appeared confused on check in, even with my reservation info. 1st room smelled like a wet dog, even though they had the window open. Next room was better smelling, but neither was the king bedroom I reserved, although desk did seem to care. Pool OK, nice hot tub. Advertised an American breakfast (?), but only had coffee. No one spoke English when asking about the "breakfast". Dirty, old, & outdated.

“Better places close by”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

In need of major repairs and upgrades. You could hear the room heater in the next building. They put a portable electric heater in the room to take it's place. Electrical outlets ready to fall out of the wall. Warm water (no hot) takes 10 mins. to get in a town that has very serious water supply issues. The staff is helpful in trying to resolve things but are limited since the owners have not kept up on the miantenance. It is very close to the area's major attractions. Advertises an American breakfast. All machines broken except 1 coffee dispenser. Breakfast is next door at another property and costs $6 extra.

“Quality of the Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

We found the Courtesy Inn to be of excellant value and we really enjoyed our stay as a result.

Room Tip: We stayed on the second floor facing the Ocean and that afforded just a beautiful view.
