“Colonial Inn exudes vintage charm, offering direct beach access and proximity to a fishing pier, which I found particularly appealing. Though some may find the decor a bit dated, it's a budget-friendly option, especially considering the prime location and free parking, right next to the rooms. For travellers prioritizing value and easy beach access over modern frills, this is a solid choice.”
