Welcoming staff, beautiful historic hotel with wonderful Christmas decor. The location is perfect for access to the beach and shopping. We also enjoyed the Christmas lights around town in the evenings. The rooms were spacious and clean. The rooms, especially the bathroom, are a bit outdated, but overall it was a great trip.

Charming old hotel, steps to the beach and walkable to the downtown area. The staff was friendly and helpful and the food at the restaurant was good. The old cage elevator is very cool. Rooms are small but well appointed - only wished for more towel racks for wet towels and bathing suits. Loved the free beach pass/umbrellas/chairs!
