Perfect Stay at the Beach Inn
Pros:

Our stay at the Beach Inn was absolutely perfect! The room was incredibly nice and spacious, making our stay so comfortable. One of the best parts was the superb, short walk right to the beach. 

We were in town for a wedding, but our plane was delayed, which had us rushing since the wedding started at 12 PM. Even though check-in wasn't officially until 4 PM, the front desk person went out of their way to find us an available room so we could check in early. It truly saved the day! I highly recommend this hotel.

Beachside Inn is a freat choice for beach front stay.
Pros:

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Beachside Inn. At first arrival we were hesitant since the outside of the building needs some TLC - a good cleaning and some fresh paint would work wonders for the facade. The elevator needs a good cleaning as well. That said, the room was very clean and modern and comfortable. The bathroom was large and comfortable. The shower was small but the water pressure was fantastic. Breakfast in the dining area was very good. Lots of good selection for cold and hot food options. Also the happy hour with wine and cheese was a nice touch. The hotel is in a great location. An easy walk to tge wharf and some great restaurant options. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a great stay!!

Worst trip ever!
Pros:

We liked that the property was across the street from the beach. They did have a descent breakfast. Staff was friendly.

Cons:

A/C didn't work in our room we only had a ceiling fan above the bed was very hot. Maintenance came to check it out said give it 5 minutes the A/C just never came on. The green light just kept flashing. Housekeeping never came to the room even to replace towels. We had to ask for them twice. The beds definitely need to be replaced. Fire alarm kept going off for no reason. They had to shut the water off for emergency plumbing issues. So couldn't even use the bathroom if you had too. Very disappointed that it was almost $600 just for two nights and this was our stay.

Lovely stay with friendly, helpful staff.
Pros:

Staff was very friendly and helpful. They asked when we would arrive and were able to have our room available for us early, before regular check-in. Our room was comfortable with a balcony with a view of the harbor. Complimentary breakfast was well stocked and attended to by a friendly staff person. Was a nice touch to have complimentary wine available in the lobby during happy hour.

Cons:

The breakfast was typical of what you would get at any hotel, but my expectations were higher because of the reviews and the comment on the listing that stated "Excellent breakfast included". It was just average, so adjust your expectations accordingly.
