Lavender Inn by the Sea

Lavender Inn by the Sea

5/5 Excellent
"The room was clean and the staff ( especially Lee) was very friendly and helpful. The happy hour and breakfast were great and it was nice to have free bikes to go riding around the neighborhood and waterfront. There was a nice pool, although it was too chilly for us to use it. The only negative is that the water had a sulfur smell. "
