“What I appreciate is its unpretentious charm, a cozy inn a few blocks from the bustle, and near the beach. I'm especially drawn to the homemade breakfasts and happy hour, signs of an innkeeper who cares and although some might consider that the rooms are a little old-fashioned, I think it's part of it's particular charisma. For travelers seeking a relaxed and pet-friendly stay, this place strikes me as a solid choice.”
