Oceanview Inn

8/10 Good
"The room was clean. The bedspread was a nice touch with the matching pillow sham. The hotel staff was really friendly and helpful. The walk to the beach was very close. I walk slowly and I was able to get to the beach in 10 minutes probably 8. I will definitely book my next visit with Ocean View. THANKS GUYS."
