The Royal Hotel
Bayside Hotel Pine Street
Belaire Suites
Clean room, friendly staff, nice location along the beach. Pool was not usable while there. Top floor breakfast was great and a good way to start off your day with a view. Food at the main floor bar is inconsistent and some of the bar staff are not very friendly.
