“This hotel struck me as a place prioritizing practical comforts, with its pet-friendly policy and coastal-themed decor; the AAA award for housekeeping is a point worth noting. The easy access to beaches and universities is undeniably convenient, but the on-site diner really seals the deal for simple stays. For those seeking fuss-free lodging, it presents a solid option.”
