Mason Beach Inn

Mason Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Mason beach inn was great. You could tell it was freshly renovated and well kept. Our room was clean and everything was in order. Although this inn didn’t have breakfast, there was always coffee, tea, oatmeal cups and cookies in the lobby. There was also keurig coffee in our room. Upon checkin we were pleasantly surprised by 2 free alcoholic beverages of our choice. We did use the pool and jacuzzi which both had comfortable temperatures. The inn was a great walking distance to Stearns Wharf and yummy breakfast places at the funk zone. I would highly recommend this place. "
