Stayed in an ocean view room. Property in need of updating. No HVAC in the room, had to use the fireplace & prop open the old wood windows because they wouldn’t stay open on their own. Old worn linens, mattress lumpy

Nice but issues
The hotel is a little dated. Could use some furniture updating to look cleaner. The pool was closed due to structural damage and that was disappointing. We did get an ocean view room which was very nice.

We enjoyed our two night stay at Fogcather Inn. Easy walk to the beach or Boardwalk option. Lovely sunset, fire pit and heated pool/spa. Especially loved all the restaurant options close by. Highly recommend this Inn.

When checking in, make sure you notify desk personnel you would like to have the room made up daily during your stay.
Otherwise, everything else was fine.
