Walking in took my breath away with the doors open and the view of the water! I feel like this is a very special & unique place. Just don’t forget anything because they don’t have stuff on-hand & everything closes by 6-7pm.
It was rainy today but still a stunning entrance!

Beautiful •grand” hotel from the outside. Great views (again, from the outside). Rooms are outdated and need a REFRESH. No balconies or even big windows to allow for the enjoyment of the views. Another thing, if you don’t like dogs, this isn’t the place for you. Seemed like everyone had a dog at this hotel! Ok with us but just thought I’d put it out there.

No tv or air. Dated furnishings. Steps and no help getting luggage to your room. Dry muffins for breakfast you can do better for the price!
