    limited breakfast
    basic amenities

    I had a pleasant stay at Normandy Inn during my recent work trip. The location is excellent for both business and leisure, being just a short walk from the beach and local dining options. My King Room was clean and well-maintained, and the updated bathroom provided a modern touch. The check-in process was efficient, allowing me to settle in quickly and focus on my work.

    I found the breakfast options to be quite limited.

    prime location
    updated bathroom
    limited breakfast

    Location is prime, right on Ocean Avenue, offering easy access to shops and eateries. The recently updated bathroom in my King Room caught my eye, boasting good water pressure and a modern walk-in shower.

    Rooms lack air conditioning, which can make warmer days uncomfortable. managing with only a small window isn't the best. The breakfast offered felt a bit too basic, with paper plates and limited options not giving a warm vibe. Additionally, the furnishings seem like remnants from another era, suggesting rooms could use a refresh to meet modern expectations.

    friendly staff

    Highly recommend for solo travelers

    Had a lovely stay, the staff was friendly and the bed was extremely comfortable after long days of exploring. Plus, the hotel is a quick walk to all the shops and cafes, made my mornings much easier.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap, but it was still acceptable considering the amenities.

    stunning trails
    great location
    basic breakfast

    Our stay with friends was a blast! We explored miles of trails to Bird Island and Cypress Grove, which were stunning. Plus, we caught a show at Sunset Center. The location was perfect for relaxing together after a day of adventures.

    One thing to note is that the breakfast left a lot to be desired – only basic items in paper and plastic.

    beautiful grounds
    tight parking

    We had a fantastic stay with a comforting King Room that had a recently updated bathroom and cozy bed. The beautiful, flowery grounds and the charming swimming pool were perfect spots to unwind together. Just a heads up, the parking can be a bit tight if you have a bigger vehicle. 😊

    great service but uncomfortable mattress

    The staff provided exceptional service, especially manager Celia who quickly addressed my mattress issue. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making our anniversary stay pleasant overall.

    The mattress in the first room was too soft for my back.

    lovely garden
    convenient access
    comfortable bedding
    challenging parking
    disruptive noise
    noisy refrigerator

    The hotel has a lovely garden and is conveniently located near shops and the beach, making it great for exploring the area. However, parking can be challenging, especially if you have a larger vehicle, and the noise between rooms can be disruptive. A small refrigerator in the room was occasionally noisy, but the comfortable bedding made for a restful sleep.
