HIGHLY recommend Bidarka for those with and without pets!
Pros:

The breakfast here was outstanding—hot, delicious, and made with real ingredients, including scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and yummy biscuits, alongside a great coffee and juice selection. The dining room itself is beautiful, incredibly spacious, and overlooks the bay.

They were also incredibly accommodating to our two large dogs, thoughtfully placing us in a first-floor room directly across from a designated grassy pet area. Our room was clean, and every single staff member we encountered was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Not to mention, Bishop's Beach is a short walk from the hotel, perfect for AM and PM strolls with the dogs! Highly recommend for anyone traveling with pets!

Cons:

No complaints.

אכזבה
Pros:

כמעט כלום

Cons:

המלון ישן, לא נקי, הוילון בחדר לא מחשיך אז האור נכנס ומפריע. הריח בחדר רע בגלל שהשטיח ישן ולא ממש נקי.
אכזבה גדולה.

Would definitely go back!
Pros:

We liked that the outside and inside was nice and clean. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was nice and well equipped. Coffee was better than most places.

Cons:

Turned heat to 60 and still seemed to run some. Not too hot but just not as cold as we like. Could be an operator mistake.
