The hotel is older architecture and had that classic feel. The rooms are small but comfortable. The hotel is at the beginning of a very nice street with restaurants and shopping. The staff is great !

We thought the hotel had a great location-in the middle of everything. We enjoyed just sitting out on the balcony and looking at the beach. We were able to walk to a lot of things.
