Just stayed 1 night with our dog. We were limited by our dog as to which room we could pick. The dog fee is very reasonable, stayed at other places in the area and they over charge for the pet fee. It did the trick for what we needed. Room was very clean, bed was comfortable. Small refrigerator and microwave. It’s an easy drive to anywhere in the area. I do recommend.

Friendly place for pets, although limited areas for pets to relieve themselves. If other pets then need to share and sometimes may be an issue depending on your pet or others. Convenience to surrounding areas like beaches and restaurants

Nice clean room only complaint was shower very small and no weights on shower curtain so water got on bathroom floor. Sink was cute looking but not deep enough to put your hands under faucet to wash hands. Maybe some kind of shelves to but toiletries on.

Great to bring a dog but some owners left dog poop in the dog run. It may help if the grass was cut short otherwise a great spot and so dog friendly. Thanks!
