The employees were all very welcoming. The area outside the hotel offered ample seating, a clean private beach and gorgeous landscaping. The rooms and beds are small but clean. Easy parking. Close to downtown.

THE STAFF WAS GREAT. WHAT WE DID NOT LIKE WAS HOW SMALL THE ROOMS AND THE BEDS ACTUALLY WERE COMPARED THE PICTURES WE VIEWED PRIOR TO BOOKING AND THEN ARRIVING.

Brio Beach Inn is the cutest little motel that’s right on the beach. Every room has a view of the beautiful water!! We absolutely loved our stay!
It was nice because the beach was right there. The rooms were pretty small. However it’s all that was available for 4th of July weekend. The breakfast was not good. But not too shabby for the price and availability.

Great was staff, rooms were clean, and the view was beautiful! There wasn’t much on the breakfast buffet. We just had apple/banana and a bagel. I would recommend my friends and family to stay here.

It was early in the season so we did not utilize the beach or the deck but it looks like it would be a great place to hang out.
The second floor rooms are small. The bed was comfortable.
The breakfast is more of a snack than a meal.

Our room was small, bathroom very small, but everything was very clean and comfortable. The bed was excellent. The young lady at check in was very pleasant and she recommended several good places to eat. It was too cold to enjoy the beach but I’m sure in a few weeks it will be very nice. If we are ever this way again I would definitely stay here.

Great view of the lake/water. Very clean, simple, well kept property.
The only issue I had was that the TV didn't work, which is akin to torture when you're alone and there are hockey playoff games to watch.
