Brio Beach Inn

Brio Beach Inn

8/10 Good
"The inn was in a good location and the beach was quite large with beach chairs available. There was a firepit which was a nice touch for the cool nights. The 1 queen room was clean, but quite small. Not a complaint, but not a lot of room to spread your things out. The breakfast was okay - a few warm items, bagels and yogurt were available. Just a heads up, if you will be arriving late, the front desk closes at 10pm. We arrived late and had to drive down the road (about 5 minutes) to the Sleep Inn to get our keys. Also, when we asked for extra towels, we were told we'd have to wait as the front desk clerk had to go to the other hotel to get them - we were leaving shortly, so the towels were left in our room. Again, not a complaint, but they were not readily available when we asked for them. The towels could definitely use an overhaul as they seemed quite old and used. Overall, a pleasant stay, staff was friendly, however, we would have preferred a little more bang for our buck."

"We've stayed at the cherry tree inn multiple times. The last time was in 2024. This time it seems like the property is run down and needs a little refresh. I know they just went through a renovation in 2020 or 2021 but that was 5 to 6 years ago and it really seems run down. The staff is always pleasant and nice."
