Beachside Inn

Beachside Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The room was big and clean a bit older but nice, staff was great, breakfast was great parking was plentiful but farther than I would've liked from the room, the street was a bit loud but I am a day sleeper so I really couldn't enjoy my balcony, other than that I would come back but I would stay on a different side hopefully with less noise"
