"We had a great stay! Room was spotless and had everything we needed. The Inn is close to Shopping/grocery stores/ restaurants. Because it’s so close to everything, you will hear traffic noise. Other reviews mentioned hearing Roosters crowing - you will hear them and dogs barking. The dogs you hear mostly come from across the street at the St. john Animal Center. This worked out well for us as dog lovers:) The center looks for volunteer dog walkers so we walked dogs four times during our stay:) Staff super friendly and helpful. We loved our room. Beaches are close too! Highly recommend."
