Spring House Inn

Spring House Inn

8/10 Good
"Nice older hotel. Convenient to the Dunes. The pool is small and old. We did not use it. Breakfast was good. Same as most buffets. Free parking. The area had a storm a month ago and there's still cleaning to do. The restaurant next to the hotel, Unos, was awful. Understaffed and our pizza was over baked and had 2 pieces of pepperoni on it. There's no where else to walk to eat."
