“South Bay Inn caters specifically to adults seeking a budget-conscious stay near the beach; however, recent reports suggest significant issues with safety, billing, and overall property maintenance. While the location is undeniably appealing, prospective guests should carefully weigh these concerns before booking. In my opinion, I would not recommend this hotel.”
