Briarwood Inn

Briarwood Inn

5/5 Excellent
"The Briarwood Inn has a cozy stay in store for you! I stayed in room 44 on the second floor. I enjoyed the spacious room with a love seat, club chair, and a wall fireplace which made this room warm and cozy. The sheets and pillows on the kingsize bed were comfortable and ensured my good night's sleep. The large bathroom vanity and shower are bright and make me feel right at home. The Briarwood Inn's location just two blocks from Ocean Avenue made it a comfortable choice for getting outside for a morning walk. Thank you!"
