Beachview Inn

Beachview Inn

8/10 Good
"The television did not work properly. There was no phone connection. It was a dead phone. There is no security for the first floor window to be allowed to be open. The screen was broken. The floor of the room had a lot of dirt and sand on it The best thing was the shower. I was pleasantly surprised with great pressure and lots of hot water that was a plus. The walls are pretty thin because I can hear the person next to me snoring like he was in my bed pretty bad"
