Für 2-3 Nächte vollkommen in Ordnung.
Pros:

Es gab bei der Unterkunft genug Parkplätze. Die Zimmergröße war gut und es war auch alles sauber. Das Frühstück war okay. Es gab frische Eierspeisen und Waffeln und ein bisschen Obst. Handtücher und Schirm gab es im Hotel.

Cons:

Das Hotel hat einen schiefen Boden.
Man ist bei der Lage auf ein Auto angewiesen.

Perfekte Lage zum Strand und City
Pros:

Altes nostalgisches Hotel, sehr hübsch eingerichtet, Frühstück sehr gut, ein Koch bereitet individuell die Eierspeisen

Cons:

Der Pool liegt direkt an einer Kreuzung, daher etwas laut, die Zimmer lassen sich leider nicht verdunkeln

Really nice historic hotel in a great location with friendly staff and at a very good price.
Pros:

Friendly and efficient check-in. Convenient free surface parking across the street. Nice included breakfast. Our room (#108 Ground Floor) was a good size with plenty of storage. Ceiling fan and easy access to the lobby and front door. Extremely good room rate. Comfortable bed and pillows. Super cold A/C (which was essential as the temp. was around 95+ degrees). If it was good enough for Babe Ruth and Marilyn Monroe it was OK with us. Fun to stay at an historic Boom time Florida property and will stay there again.

Cons:

Room was just off the lobby and so had some guest noise. Also, it faced on one side 2 busy and often noisy streets. If this is a concern, ask for a quiet location room away from the busy roads. Finally, we are not a fan of electronic keys and check-in, but we are probably in a minority.

Friendly staff,great food & would stop again 👌👌
Pros:

Great place to stop,a short drive to the beaches with endless shops & restaurants,great breakfast and endless room amenities (towels,shower gels,soaps etc),staff were welcoming & friendly.

Cons:

Only downside is i think because of the age of the property there are random noises going on as we was on the lower floor we could hear kids running round late at night.

Just ok
Pros:

The bed and pillows were comfortable and that was about it beside the location being close to most of the things we planned to do while in town.

Cons:

The entire place smelled wet and musty with heavy air freshener smell to seemingly cover the smells. Including in the room, thankfully we weren't in the room much. The pool was like a bathtub it was so warm bordering on hot.
