Very nice area but hotel is very old and needs to be renovated. Room was decently clean as best as possible but stains on walls and very run down decor kind of sad since it’s in a beautiful location and has so much potential but highly mismanaged and in disarray

I like the room next to beachfront. They don’t have enough staff. Not enough food. Food was too old to eat. Always had to ask for towels. To expensive for just a room.

This is my second visit and I was placed in the same room. Beautiful views, comfortable room, and I even spent time on the boardwalk and ordered food from the bar. The hotel is a historic location, and one can tell it is being renovated in stages. I recommend a stay here.
