"We got married at the Postcard Inn and our experience was no less than exceptional."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
We got married at the Postcard Inn and our experience was no less than exceptional. When we arrived at the hotel and was greeted by a friendly staff and a scenic lobby overlooking a courtyard lined with string lights. Our room was next to the pool, which had a private seating area right outside our door where you can view the sunset. The room was picturesque and had every amenity you would need for a weekend getaway. The cute beachside bar made the best rum runners for our guest. The only complaint I have was getting married on such a cold weekend, but the Postcard Inn had that covered with ample outdoor heaters at the bar. They even called after I checked out to let me know I left something behind in my room and offered solutions for me to retrieve my belongings. I'm definitely going to visit this hotel again.

"Needs Updating."
Overall Score2.0/ 5
We stayed at the Postcard Inn for a three day stay. On the positive side, the pool area is very nice. It's a large pool and you can order drinks and have them brought poolside. One of the employees also came around the pool and offered everyone a push pop. Everyone at the pool loved that. On the negative side, the rooms look old and need refurbishing. The bathroom door was difficult to open; the TV was terrible because the signal kept being interrupted; a table is really needed in the room; forget the horrible coffee maker. It is beachside and they have volleyball and cornhole. Everything with the outside was good.
