    Very good

    Had a great time over New Year, loved the complimentary breakfast buffet and daily cookies. Location was key, steps away from a beautiful beach and surrounded by fantastic restaurants. Enjoyed the cozy lobby fireplace and the friendly staff.

    The room was a bit outdated, could have used some modern touches. The noise from the nearby construction was bothersome during the day, but thankfully it stopped in the evenings. Overall a good stay and would consider returning.

    It’s true that the hotel has a great location and they give you complementary cookies and a coffee machine in the room. The view from the room was beautiful and it was easy to walk to nearby restaurants and shops.

    The hotel was not worth the price. The room was very small and outdated with old furniture and limited amenities. The staff was not helpful when we had a problem with our room and gave us a hard time. The walls were thin and we could hear everything happening in the hallway and neighboring rooms. it was not a comfortable stay and we would not recommend it.

    Had an amazing Thanksgiving experience! The breakfast was excellent, especially the poached eggs. The service was very friendly and accommodating. Also, the location couldn't be better! We were able to cross the road and get to an amazing view of the water and beach. Our room was spotless, and the linens were fresh and crisp. We loved the charm and character of the building, and the staff at the front desk were always helpful.

    We did experience some issues with the room key and the spotty wifi. However, this didn't detract from our overall experience and enjoyment of our stay. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for reasonable rates and a charming atmosphere.

    No complaints, the venue met expectations, would recommend it. We had a quite comfortable stay in this small hotel.

    Very good

    The hotel is conveniently located near shops and restaurants, with great scenery such as a body of water and a park nearby. The room was clean and had a nice advantage of a comfortable bed or a good breakfast or attentive service. The view was breathtaking and the leisure facilities like a pool or gym are great. As someone with physical handicaps, I really appreciated the accessible ramps and elevators.

    The hotel lacked proper maintenance and repairs.
