“Beachside Inn's pier perch”
Beachside Inn is a sincere refined-motel stay — clean thoughtfully-set rooms with towel art and disposable slippers, round-the-clock coffee and hot water, a large well-designed parking area, a rich American breakfast, and a great pier-adjacent location. Caveats though: the hotel runs older, a hundred-and-fifty-dollar card hold applies at check-in, and housekeeping knocked at nine in the morning despite a do-not-disturb sign.
