We spent two nights at the FogCatcher Inn. First here are the great things; 1. Can't beat the location. Our upgraded room faced the ocean and all the comes with it, the views, the roar of the waves, the gorgeous sunsets and sunrise. 2. Large room with a comfortable king size bed. 3. Large bathroom with enough counter space for everything. Here are the not so great things: 1. Upon checking in, we were told the pool was not in service. This is something the hotel should share when making reservations, not when you are at the front desk, and after you've paid. 2. The shower in the bathroom is so weak because they are using a water-saver shower head. The trouble is, instead of saving water, you have to shower twice as long in order to wash all the soap and shampoo off. 3. The blinds in the hotel room were all tangled and unusable. Not so bad during the day, but a pain in the neck at night as headlights from the cars passing by shine through as they pass. The hotel is pricy, and I don't mind paying a higher price for a great room. IMO, except for the wonderful ocean view, I think we overpaid for what we got. Would I stay there again? Probably yes, if for nothing more than an unbelievable view and a predictable room.

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

King suite was spacious. Bathroom good. Mini-kitchenette served its purpose. Property needs a little TLC and updating. Fabrics on all seating in unit was stained. Scuff marks on some furniture made it look dirty. 2 of the windows needed props to keep them slid open.

Loved the location and would definitely stay again, though I'd probably opt for a second floor room. Easy stroll via the boardwalk for breakfast at the Cowtipper.

My friend and I stayed there for a friend vacation and everything was lovely. However, there was a couple little glitches. The pool was not functioning. It was under repair, but that was OK because the SPA was available we didn’t really miss using the pool. Also, no maid service unless you request something so I went to the front office on our first morning there and I asked for more coffee, and coffee cups, and more glasses which she did give to me after looking at me a little strangely. Then I asked if we could have someone come in and empty our trash. She was very confused and said she would try to find someone to do that or we could just put it in the trashcan ourselves outside the room. Well, on my way back to my room. I passed two maid carts and two maids that were working on other rooms. I did not say anything to them, but I did think it was strange that she thought she would have to find someone to empty our trash. Fortunately, I brought trash bags with me and we use them. Anyway , that is my only complaint. We had a wonderful time there and everyone was very helpful and friendly except for this particular young lady and we would probably go back next year.
