“What stands out is a devotion to animal welfare threaded through a celebration of classic Hollywood, especially the legacy of Doris Day. I found the location ideal, nestled right in town, and the popovers at breakfast were a delightful touch. For those seeking a blend of historic charm and pet-friendly hospitality, this seems like a perfect base.”
