"Liked my Stay at the Beachside Inn it was a nice hotel the beach was just in front. The breakfast at the hotel is good and the lobby and dining areas are always clean staff is super friendly and attentive. There was many restaurants near by I could literally walk down the block and grab a meal. My only one complaint was that the room I had reserved didn’t have a working shower but the staff was quick and they upgraded us into a better room."

"the room was quite nice, clean, comfortable, and quiet. it lacked a space for a medium sized suitcase to be conveniently placed out of the way, given the room's relatively small size. the area around the hotel is looking pretty rough...to many vagrants and homeless near the entrances of the hotel, made us feel uncomfortable. Parking situation was good at lot on E. Haley street."

"Beds weren’t too comfortable but the room was overall pretty clean. There were pieces of hair here and there in the bathroom. The room smelt of really strong bleach unfortunately and there was no switch to turn on the bathroom fan to try and air it out and the window didn’t open either. The hotel is very small and isn’t in a super scenic location but it was fine for the one night trip we had. We reserved the double queen and it was a good size with a small fridge, working AC, and lots of closet...
