It’s a nice place to stay. The staff it’s really nice and friendly. I needed a crib for my baby and they put it in my room right away. The only thing that we didn’t like it’s the smell in the elevator and the hallway, it smells like old wet. Other than that nice place.

I didn’t know what to expect when staying at a hotel with a historic designation, but I was pleasantly surprised. The aesthetic and visuals of the hotel from when it was more relevant are preserved; it feels like it was made to be a time capsule of sorts for everything except for the important modern updates (plumbing, flat screen TVs in rooms, etc.). Wonderfully delightful staff, always helpful and attentive. The room itself was much more spacious than I anticipated. The complimentary breakfast had tons of options every morning: eggs, bacon, sausage, oatmeal, waffle maker, muffins, toast, bagels, fresh fruit. And every time we left our room we came back to our beds tidied up and our linens and toiletries refreshed with nice note from staff. I have two small boys (7 and 5) and they had plenty of room to hang out and not feel cramped. Me and my family felt overwhelmingly taken care of and we would love to stay here again given the chance.

Great area off the beach, but right next to it- amazing parking lot. Breakfast was okay. The facility is historic, so just remember that means its a little more loved than your average hotel.

I would recommend this delightful hotel.

Beautiful and historic hotel with a refreshingly healthy focus which I could feel immediately upon entering the building. Excellent buffet breakfast, very friendly and personable service, and interesting surrounding area to do some leisurely exploring. I would recommend this delightful hotel.

Such a lovely hotel with a touch of history where I had a great stay for just one night. Although the building is aged, it has all the amenities I need, such as free parking, a platform lift, a cooler filled with ice bags, free coffee and ice/hot water and a pool, etc. Plus, bed was comfy and breakfast was excellent.
