This was our second time at this friendly motor inn style hotel. The rooms are in a semi-circle, your car right in front of you. The fee for pets is $15.00 per night, but they had a special deal on their website that if you asked, you got $20.00 off the going rate! Last visit we stayed in the larger room with the kitchen. It was a nice sized room, but I would have loved to see some very basic things in the kitchen, maybe a few paper plates or utensils. There is nothing in the kitchen in terms of cooking or eating equipment, so bring your own. This trip we had the smaller room. Dogs are not allowed in the patio or larger tub rooms. While the room was a bit small, it was cozy and clean. Be sure and turn the frig up when you get in the room, it was on the lowest setting and is not kept cold all the time. It worked fine however for leftovers and drinks. Breakfast is in the lobby, yogurt, bagels, fruit and baked goods. There is fresh coffee and Stash tea all day in the lobby as well as bikes you can take out for free during the day. Only a block to the beach, so it is a nice location. You can not leave your dog in the room when you are gone, so plan accordingly. All pet hotels I have been in are that way to avoid problems. We had no problems with noise either trip, not even dogs barking. This recent trip the hotel was totally full as well. For just over $100 a night, I thought it was a great value and the staff are very friendly as well.
