Gaido's Seaside Inn
Pool was very nice. Our room was definitely in need of some upgrades. Staff was very nice and friendly and the continental breakfast was much better than some of the other hotels we’ve stayed at that were much more expensive. Overall it was a pretty good place to spend the night.
