Gaido's Seaside Inn

Gaido's Seaside Inn

8/10 Good
"Property is older, but pretty well maintained. Front desk staff was nice. Hot breakfast has a decent selection, but there are some ladies that serve the plate, you don't serve yourself to the hot items. Room was clean, but bathroom and ceiling tiles need updated. Good location - quick walk across the street to the beach. Pool was nice. Pool chairs could use updating. Pool bar drinks and burger were good. Overall, it was a good deal for a last minute trip. We would maybe consider staying again."
