This hotel is in a great location. Price was better than most and clean.
Pros:

The location from the Amtrak was perfect. Very close to the beach and pier.

Cons:

The breakfast was very sparse, would have like a couple of creamer options, and possibly more fruit options.

Muy buena
Pros:

La ubicación es excelente a una cuadra de la playa y a pocas cuadras de state st, su calle principal. El hotel es muy lindo, muchas plantas decorado estilo colonial. La habitación espaciosa, las camas cómodas, una piscina muy buena y un spa de agua caliente que disfrutamos un montón. El personal fue correcto. Cerca de las 17-18hs sirvieron aceitunas y fiambres, el desayuno correcto

Cons:

Me hubiese gustado que el desayuno incluya algo de fiambre y huevos revueltos

A pleasant, quiet, one night stay.
Pros:

The location

Cons:

Bathroom way too small and no towel bars or hooks to hang them. No closets or hangers either. Too high of a rate not to have some closet space. Breakfast, fair.

I actually noticed the tiny pool, clutter in the lobby, really dirty stairs and kind of old things in the room, and I fl
Pros:

It was close to the ocean, and it could be very charming if they cleaned and updated it.

Cons:

It was full of old dusty things and the stairs were really dirty. It needs some TLC.

Pros:

וילה מאוד מיוחדת (אקלקטית אבל אנחנו מאוד אהבנו), מלא בחפצי אמנות מכל העולם, אזור הבריכה והג'קוזי מדהים עם גן קטן נסתר יפיפה. קבלנו חדר גדול פינתי עם מרפסת לכיוון הים. יש חניה חינם ומכונת כביסה ומייבש במחיר נמוך מאוד. מיקום בצמוד לחוף הים ומול המזח.

Cons:

ארוחת הבוקר פשוטה, אין מזגן בחדרים (לא היה צורך בתקופה שהתארחנו, אבל בשיא הקיץ זה יכול להיות בעייתי).

I would stay here again. Hotel just needs a little freshening up. I liked the vibe it gave
Pros:

The location was amazing. The building looked beautiful from the outside.

Cons:

The inside of the building was very cluttered. The trees and the plants in the pool area needed to be maintained more. Our room needed some repairs. Some of the walls had small wholes that needed patching and paint. The view from two of our windows was basically trash and storage

Hotel bardzo przytulny i klimatyczny w świetnej lokalizacji
Pros:

Hotel oczekiwał nas swoimi klimatycznymi wnętrzami. Duży przestronny pokój z balkonem i częściowym widokiem na ocean. Urokliwy basen otoczony roślinnością. Bardzo nam się podobało. Zaraz przy plaży

Cons:

Śniadanie bardzo kiepskie.
