Three Inn is honest accommodation at an honest price in a genuinely convenient location. It is not a property that guests return to for the experience of staying there it is a property that guests return to because it was clean, the location worked, the Wi-Fi was reliable, and the price was right. The balcony rooms are the ones worth requesting; the ocean-view element elevates what would otherwise be a purely functional stay into something that feels slightly more like a Maldives arrival.
