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.

Breakfast was great. Staff was helpful. I loved the history of the hotel-built in 1915-still had an antique feel about it.

Really cool historic property. Good breakfast buffet & the staff is awesome.
Drawbacks are it’s really close to a busy road so you get a decent amount of trafffic noise.
