I feel like I was staying with family ! This place is very amazing The manager is a real hands on guy and I Love Ms Guen . All the house keepers and staff care about your stay . The view from my room was stunning for a north facing side room! The place is old.for some reason that's what I like. It's maintained fairly well but very clean. Can't wait to go back !!

Customer service is amazing. Miss Gwen is attentive and truly cares about you enjoying your stay. The room itself has an amazing view and the beds were clean and comfortable. The other aesthetics of the room are a little rough but the beds, the view, customer service, and the ridiculously amazing price easily make up for it! I plan to stay there again.

I travel alone for work most weekends. I stay 2-3 times a year (for the last 4-5 years) at the Gazebo Inn for work. I LOVE Ms. Gwen!!! She runs a tight ship!! My latest stay this past Tuesday -Tuesday I booked thru Priceline. As I walked in the doors she greeted me by name!! Yes. She remembered me from May when I came down for a few days. I have told quite a few of the guys I work with about the Gazebo. Many of us stay there now. I have never had any problems in all my stays. The Gazebo is an older hotel but it is always CLEAN. I will be back the first of next year if not sooner for work.

You can’t beat a room with a balcony right on the beach of the Atlantic Ocean! Fabulous stay. Wish I could stay longer. The bedding and bathroom were pristine. Air conditioning was crazy good. Wood flooring in my room looked brand new. The hallways are shabby but easily forgotten upon entering my room! Awarding stay and an amazing low price.

This was our 3rd time staying here. The rooms are very reasonably priced, clean, and good sized! We stayed in a King Oceanfront room. It was amazing, with a beautiful view of the ocean, as well as watching the sunrise! Highly recommended, and we will be returning again for sure! Mrs Gwen is an absolute blessing!! She goes above and beyond to be sure you are happy and have an enjoyable stay! Thank you for the great stay!

MS GWEN MS GWEN MS GWENNNN!!! This hotel should be called ms Gwen inn. This vibe of the whole place for me belongs to this woman. She’s such a helpful front desk rep she goes above and beyond people come here because she’s here. She makes the place feel safe and like a home. The views are great it’s a great location and affordable. But my feelings towards it come from my experience here with Gwen. The cleaning staff and everyone one else are lovely too. Every place has its cons but for special reasons this place is a 5 for me.
