“The Lighthouse Inn & Suites strikes me as a practical choice, particularly given its proximity to Nubble Lighthouse and Long Beach. Rooms include conveniences like a microwave and refrigerator, which I consider essential for longer stays, though light-sensitive guests might want to request a room away from the brighter exterior lights. While some past visitors have noted issues with mildew in lower-level rooms, the outdoor heated pool is a definite plus.”
