Accent Inns Blog

Sure, we thought about coming up with a new and exciting name for our blog: Ol’ Bloggy Blog.
The Duck Stops Here. Kevin.

But at the end of the day, our Google experts said that if people are looking for our blog, they aren’t going to search “The Duck Stops Here”. Or sadly, “Kevin”.
