“What stands out is its accessibility to both the beach and the heart of the small town. The rooms impressed with a log-cabin charm, unexpectedly spacious, clean and better appointed than I anticipated for a roadside stop. The free breakfast is a welcome start to the day, and the pet-friendly policy throughout all rooms makes traveling with dogs truly seamless.”
