I came, I slept, I left.
Pros:

An older facility, past it's prime, but well maintained, and carefully cleaned. The things that mattered, bedding, pillows, and other things necessary for a good night's sleep were more than adequate.. Location, price, and staff were all all excellent. OK, the coffee wasn't that exciting but is it ever?

This is always a favorite
Pros:

PIER BLUE INN Has become my go to for travel in the area. The walk down to the small beach is lovely. There are larger, less populated beaches in the area as well.
It is tucked away and feels very cozy in the back lawn even though it is right off the road.
There is a cafe across the street for breakfast and a farm stand next door.

It was good and comfortable, but it could be improved in some aspects
Pros:

Location

Cons:

When I turned on the water to take a shower, the water came out black and stayed that way for about 10 minutes, then it was cold for another ten minutes. Also, the heater wasn't warming the room even when I set it to maximum
