Seaside Inn & Suites

Seaside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent
"Recently renovated and very clean. Comfy and quiet. However, the renovations are a lil bit slapdash. The towel bar in my room was broken and held in place by some gel like glue, for ex. The bed was firm and the sheets and towels crisp. I enjoy a rough towel. Not even kidding. The body wash may or may not resemble dish soap. Sensitive skin folks you already know to bring your own. I’d stay here again."
