Coastal Suites Resort

Coastal Suites Resort

8/10 Good
"We loved the location and the privacy at Coastal Suites. The night we stayed it was only us and 1 other couple. The room was nice and cozy but there was a faint sewage smell in the bathroom. Also, the breakfast was grab and go items that were not super fresh. English muffins had mold and something else was expired. The property sits across the street from The Cherry Hut which had great food!"
