Shell Island Hotel Deals
Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites
Perfect location! Room 216 was good. Furniture fine. Beach View awesome. Bed comfy. My only issue is either the water has a smell or it’s the shower/tub drain has a smell. Otherwise, good 3 night stay.

Sleep Inn
No hot breakfast but good variety of muffins, bagels etc. Shower head was stuck on one setting. Decent for the price for a quick stay.
