“Formerly an Elks Lodge, the remodeled building now exudes a meticulous attention to detail, enhanced by a distinctive and pleasant fragrance throughout. I found its location ideal; a quiet spot within walking distance of both downtown and the beach.
Given the history, soundproofing may be a consideration, but the overall experience is undeniably appealing, especially the staff's kindness and accommodation.”
