West Beach Inn, a Coast Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"the location was great. walking distance to just about everywhere. Upon arrival we were about an hour early for check in, but thought to inquire anyway. We were greeted by the nicest staff, who not only allowed us to check in but also had our room ready. The room was very clean and had a balcony with a beach view. I not only recommend it but i will be back"
