Seahorse Inn and Cottages
I appreciated the new bedding. Shower surround looked new but the bottom needs replacing or at least repairing. The coffee pot still had a used pod in it. Excellent location & price. Stayed here before & will stay again.

Yes, the room (126) was dated but it was also spotless. I have stayed at much newer hotels that couldn't touch the cleanliness of this room! Staff was excellent. Having the convenience to simply open the back door and walk out to a pet yard at 3am for my pup to potty was really nice. We will stay ...
