8/10 Good
"Not a bad place. A little expensive for the location and how old it is, but I would stay there again. It is in town away from the beach area, which is good or bad depending on what you like, but an easy drive to the beach area and to Interstate 95. Plenty of restaurants and a supermarket within walking distance."

Lamie's Inn and The Old Salt Restaurant

10/10 Excellent
"Staying at Laime's is a fun experience with the decor and The Old Salt inside the building. There are games, like checkers, set outside in the hallway to invite socializing. There is no elevator, so be prepared to go up a short flight of stairs if you are upstairs. The breakfast is mainly pastries and cereal but there is fruit and hard-boiled eggs. The rooms are quiet, clean and cozy."
