Shinn Historical Park and Arboretum

Pros: -Great breakfast with multiple options like quiche/egg dishes that were actually good, yogurt, granola, fresh fruit, etc. And good coffee and tea available almost all day! -Helpful staff -Cozy feel with some friendly guests - felt like a place where you can sit and get to know other guests and feel at home, which was really nice -Good happy hour daily with wine and good snacks (which almost never happens) - cheese, crackers, fresh fruit, veggies, nuts, etc. and coffee -Great room with a true ocean view. Just outside our door was a big shared balcony we sat on daily to enjoy happy hour and stare at a huge stretch of the main beach -A mini fridge with plenty of free water -nice clean room and bathroom -Walkable. We walked to the beach, pier, boardwalk, downtown and the lighthouse. Less than a mile to everything Cons: -Our fireplace didn’t work, which was a big bummer because it was cold some nights and would have been really cozy, romantic and nice in our little room -No AC. We were okay without as long as we kept windows open at night, but it was still a tad warm -Breakfast doesn’t start till 8:30, so if you need to leave early for something, you’ll miss it -We put the do not disturb sign every day and every day housekeeping came in anyway
