I had a pleasant stay at this Inn, right across the street from the beach which was fantastic for enjoying the ocean view. The staff were warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home. However, the rooms were quite dated, and the dining experience during breakfast could use some improvement, as the options were limited. Overall, it's a decent choice for a short visit, especially if you're looking for a beachside location.
