10/10 Excellent
"This is a cute little roadside lodge. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The property is well maintained and clean. You are literally close enough to hear the waves crashing across the street. Parking is free and the rooms feel cozy but still clean enough for the traveler. They are pet friendly and have plenty of doggy bags available. They also offer late check in if you call in advance that was very nice for us."
