Renovations are planned so we knew what to expect. Very dated but lovely old building. Staff were great and did their best. Great breakfast and comfy bed. Our stay a bit uncomfortable due to extreme heat. Despite this we enjoyed our stay.

The hotel location is excellent for access to town and beach. Not the hotels fault but the parking situation around the beach access areas are not good. Even finding a place is virtually impossible and if you do you are restricted to 3 hrs max.
