"This is a lovely Inn. I stayed in a room with a view of the ocean and it was one of the best views I’ve ever had. This place is old, but it’s clean, if you want everything modern and up-to-date. This isn’t the place for you. The only drawback was the cell phone reception the only Internet available is via AT&T. If you have anything else, you will have no Internet reception."
