Beachrunners' Inn

Great little place! It was a bit cold for us during the night and the rooms were small, but it had its own shower and bathroom and everyone was very friendly.

Nice host who greeted me upon my arrival, showed me around the downstairs, and explained the breakfast times, etc.

Very quaint they've been around for over a hundred years

I'll admit, I've never stayed at a bed-and-breakfast before so some of this may be par for the course. This property is well-cared for and clean for the most part. However, I believe it's time for a deep cleansing. (There is plenty dust and dirt in the less conspicuous areas.) Although located on a fairly busy street, it's remarkably quiet and parking was never an issue. The one thing I couldn't get used to was a host/hostess not being readily available if there were any issues (e.g. key "problems," user error or not.) Also, the "hot" breakfast was made at the beginning of the breakfast period, and merely left out on the table. Again, no host/hostess to be found until clean up time. I was hoping to see what the attraction is to a B&B, but I just can't see it. Sorry.

One has to get on the bed for the other to pass. Baseboards dirty, lots of dust, and mold in the shower. We like B&B's because the owners like to have guests and are friendly and attentive. Its why we pay a premium over a motel. Other than a rapid fire welcome speech, the host kept her ear buds in and never spoke a word. Breakfast one morning was no coffee left and a fry pan set on the table with cold sausages...no one around to ask for coffee. Pretty weird experience. Not anything like we'd hoped. Good location though, nice neighborhood and 4 blocks to the beach.
