West Beach Inn, a Coast Hotel

West Beach Inn, a Coast Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Great little Inn right by the harbor. The beach is just across the street and dining options are walkable. The pool and hot tub were fantastic. They had coffee and tea all day and night, and they even had wine and cheese in the evening. The staff was very friendly and quick to help with anything we needed. If the hotel is full parking could be an issue, but there was plenty when we checked in."
