Seaside Inn Oceanfront

Seaside Inn Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent
"Staff here were amazing It was a bit loud during the middle of the night with people talking outside, and you could hear people stomping around on the floor above Parking was much easier across the street in the overflow lot; rather than the tight spaces under the building The included breakfast was the best I’ve had anywhere"
