“This place strikes me as a reliable, unpretentious choice near the beach, especially appealing for those focused on birding around High Island; I imagine the clean, adequately furnished rooms offer a comfortable respite after a day outdoors. The unexpected highlight, in my view, is the restaurant, with its surprisingly diverse menu spanning both American and Asian cuisines, including notably fresh tempura. It may not be fancy, but it has its own functional charm.”
