Gaido's Seaside Inn

Gaido's Seaside Inn

8/10 Good
"The desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The property is older but clean. Breakfast was good; eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, tator tots, pastries, coffee, juices, milk, yogurt and a good selection of toppings. Pancake machine was fun. The grits were made with butter and love. The breakfast ladies were darling. The pool was very clean and well maintained. The cleaning staff were nice and efficient. The room is older but still nice enough and clean. Beds are very soft. Rooms are decorated in kitschy coastal theme. There were vanity packs, hand soap, and small bar soaps, and dispensers of shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the bathroom. Nice size tv. Mini fridge, microwave, very clean. The office has a cabinet of TP and towels you can just grab when you need it. There are coffee pots and coffee condiments in the office. The office folks will give you all the single coffee packs you want. The front side of the hotel is noisy by the pool, but the back side rooms are nice and quiet. You're a crosswalk away from the beach and a few minutes from anything you could want. Parking is ample and gate secured on the back side at night. A very pleasant stay over Labor Day."
