Best Western Plus North Shore Hotel
Breakfast is nice. Rooms clean. Staff courteous and helpful. Although did not matter to us since we were on the ground floor (floor2 at this hotel) but only one elevator was working. Noticed same problem when we stayed about 4 months ago.... Hope they are getting it fixed for upcoming tourist ...

Rockport Inn And Suites
They only have a light continental breakfast which does not work for me due to my food allergies so I go out. I miss there hot full breakfast. Parking is plentiful and the location is great.
