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.

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.
