“Drakes Creek Inn, formerly The Relax Inn, stands out for its dedicated hospitality; Monica, the manager, is mentioned for creating a welcoming, family-like atmosphere for guests. This personal touch extends to offering helpful local advice. However, experiences can vary, with one report citing a front desk interaction as notably rude and unprofessional.”
