Salt Shaker Deli & Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Our room was two levels. We did not use the lower kitchen/seating area which seemed to be fully equipped. The bedroom was large with an inviting seating area with two comfortable chairs and a great view of the ocean. The bathroom was large, but the vanity area was small so no real room to set anything on. The shower is also small but gets the job done. Most of the space is taken up by a soaker tub which we never use. The unit is very clean, and well maintained with a lot of modern features and updates. Parking is on the street but we did get lucky and got a spot right by the door."

8/10 Good
"We stayed in the honeymoon suite and the king bed was amazingly comfortable. The staff were great and helped me with heavy bags up the steep stairs (be ready for that if you’re old or weak). The adjacent beach across the road was quite with hardly anyone on it (romantic). The down side of the room was 3 things: 1) there were only sheers on the windows so privacy at night was a little off and the room was too bright in the morning. 2) the shower stall was ridiculously small - about 24” x 30” so the curtain stuck to my side and the shower head was an old ‘water saver’ head and hardly sprayed much water. 3) the bathroom fan was noisy and requires replacing. The chandelier above the jacuzzi tub made us laugh as we banged our heads on it standing up. Oh and #4 if the owners are reading… replace the window screens! The ocean view is no good blurred by ancient window screens. A nice stay but not worth the money -especially for newlyweds and because I need a nice shower!!"
