Pleasant View Inn

Pleasant View Inn

10/10 Excellent
"A clean beachfront hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms not huge, but big enough, clean, and seem recently updated. The restaurant food was average, but the view was wonderful and the prices were fair. We would gladly stay here again."

The National Hotel

8/10 Good
"Loved the space. We thought an extra mirror or long mirror would be helpful. Hooks for towels or another towel bar would work too maybe e near the sink for hand towels. Aldo a shelf under the sink for toiletries. Just minor things but make a difference. Even a soap dish. We have to use a towel or napkin for soap. Other than that’d everyone was very attentive and helpful for calling cabs etc. we loved the close proximity to everything. Thank you. The AC was awesome too."
