Edgewater Inn And Suites

Edgewater Inn And Suites

8/10 Good
"Rooms vary. We changed from a cramped 2 queen subpar room to a better 2queen room. More room and better condition than the first room, which had a tiny balcony with very little view of the ocean. The sliding screen door was not attached, and bathroom had no working fan or window. Outdoor pool was too cold, but hot tub was fine. Not much offered for breakfast. No juice or milk."
