Seaside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent
"Walking distance from Boardwalk was very convenient. The room and bed were huge, it had all the amenities necessary. The bad thing (for me as a short person)😏 too many stairs. At night not enough parking spaces.🙄 Also the vending machines need to get fixed or have more options. Overall I would recommend 👌The cleaning ladies were very nice.😀"
