Lovely and spacious. Stayed in a “dog” room as traveling with pet. You’d never know it. Meticulous. No smells. Loved the “happy hour” welcome of local beer and wine in the lobby area. Huge dog friendly park right across the street was so convenient. Definitely recommend and would stay again.

Enjoyed the personal touches. Within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Pet friendly. Dog park across the street. Could be sound proofed much better. The parking spots are too narrow for regular-sized vehicles. Almost got parked in several times.
