Stay here for the view!! The room was old and the sheets were dirty. The front office staff did not assist with my concerns. You have to pay for parking. Surrounding restaurants and the beach made it doable for one night. Would not stay here again.

The location is GREAT and the staff are amazing, very nice and accommodating. This is our first time staying at this hotel and me and my boyfriend both agreed we would forsure stay here again. Yes, the building is old but just keep in mind this is a nostalgic hotel and the employees take pride in that which they should :)
