Normandy Inn
Great staff, clean room and remodeled bathroom looks great. Awful water pressure in shower made washing hair difficult. Great location but…there will always be noise from adjacent rooms. Old hotel with paper thin walls. You can hear snoring from all directions

Pine Inn
Hotel has lots of character, room was great, clean, the bed was easily the most comfortable of all the hotels we stayed at on our 2 week roadtrip. Location was an easy walk to the beach and in the core area with the shops.
