A Dog-Friendly Gem Close to the Beach

spacious room clean room friendly staff dog-friendly

The room was quite spacious and clean. Breakfast offered many choices and the staff were friendly (I especially appreciated the fresh milk in the room's fridge). They welcomed my dog, a big plus. I found it easy to leave my car there after checkout while I spent the morning at the beach.

The exterior was a little untidy and could use some updating.
