Inn By The Harbor
We enjoyed our weekend stay at Inn by The Harbor. The breakfast was nice as was the afternoon wine, cheese and crackers, and cookies. Hotel staff were friendly. We enjoyed walking the nearby community college campus and rode our bikes to the beach, which is quite close. We would stay again.

The Milo
The room was nice and clean. Check-in process was very smooth. I arrived with a pet and they provided a room with yard access. Hotel is across the street from the beach and walking distance from many nice restaurants. Would highly recommend.
