Beachview Inn

Beachview Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Free parking was always available onsite within 30 feet of the room. Each room is equipped with it's own digital HVAC unit. Therefore, we were able to set the digital temperature appropriate for the time of day. When thr sun was up, we would use the air conditioner. However, when the sun would go down, the beach area would get cold, so at bedtime we would set the thermometer to heat the room It was very easy to keep the temp in our room perfect for us."
