Pros:

Front desk staff very pleasant & helpful. Had 2 nights booked, but unexpectedly needed an extra night. One other room was available, so we booked it. Checked out of the first room. The desk person said we'd have to re check in and they would have the next room ready for us in a couple hours. Front desk called and had our next room available in that time frame. Very accommodating and helpful. Highly recommend Shoreline Inn (right at the beach)

Too short. Wish I could afford to stay more often.
Pros:

Did try breakfast. Location is key.

Cons:

The corners of the bed platform should be rounded. I have booboos on my shins.

Pros:

The room was nice. The view was at a very edge and not that great over the other parking lot.
The TV channels are weird and it was hard to find a guide that helped. The coffee was very so so.
The location was great to go wonder around, eat, go to beach etc.

Cons:
