Top Lower Riviera Hotel Reviews

Sandpiper Lodge

8/10 Good

"Staff was friendly & helpful."

Inn By The Harbor

8/10 Good

"Our room was on the first floor and looked like the photos online - very pretty. This hotel is more of a motel with rooms that are entered from the parking lot. Check-in was a bit unpleasant. The affect of the receptionist was a bit cold and strange. Breakfast was ok - nice variety, and the coffee was very good and nice and hot. I didn't care for the selection of pastries and bagels, but there were plenty of other options. Location is very good - just a few minutes walk to the beach, restaurants and state street. Value for price paid isn't really there, but overall, it was a nice place to stay for the fourth of July weekend. It was a birthday trip and it would have been nice if the hotel had acknowledged that in some way."

Beachside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The location was fantastic, and the hotel was spotless and well-maintained. The room was incredibly spacious, providing ample comfort. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. What truly impressed me was the unexpected amenities offered, such as complimentary coffee, popcorn, wine, and cheese. I had high expectations for a decent hotel, but I was pleasantly surprised that every aspect of my stay exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be choosing it again in the future."
