Turtle Cove Inn. Now we re moving on to the less expensive hodgdon meadow opportunities. This is a two-story hotel built around a large, freshwater swimming pool. It s rather a simple affair, but clean and inviting. The rooms are comfortably furnished and provide views over either the pool or the marina, which is just a few yards away. All rooms are air-conditioned, and the bathrooms, though adequate, are a little hodgdon meadow on the small side. Poolside, you ll find the Tiki Hut Cabana and Grill.
