“The Inn distinguishes itself with newly decorated rooms, including kitchenettes, and free access to mini-golf next door, a compelling perk for families and groups. It's an older building with potential noise issues, so earplugs may be handy; otherwise, the beach access and friendly staff make it an appealing, affordable choice.”
