I had a generally positive experience at the Normandy Inn, thanks to its fantastic location near the beach and numerous shops. The rooms were clean and comfortable, which I appreciated. However, the wifi from my room was spotty, and I found the breakfast offerings to be rather basic. Overall, it was a decent stay, but I might explore other options next time due to a few shortcomings.
