This hotel holds all that is charming about the era in which it was built in combination with fully modernized lighting, plumbing, and mattress. We are SO impressed with the kindness and gracious welcome of all the staff here. Our room was on the top floor with a small window looking out on the ocean; perfect! We slept really well. The water pressure was fantastic in the shower. We had dinner in the Curry Leaf restaurant downstairs; delicious! Breakfast was just right; lots of options. We HIGHLY recommend this place.

The only thing that might be a problem for some people was the fact that there were a lot of narrow stairs. Otherwise we had a very nice stay. Very friendly people.

Not Again, Unfortunately.
Beautiful old historical hotel. Good view of the beach. Very welcoming and helpful staff! Our room was several flights up and there wasn’t an elevator, but staff took our bags up for us. Climbing the steps to our room was like climbing a mountain. Our room was either a closet or an attic with a very small window; there wasn’t a fan nor air conditioning so the space was ver confining. I sat on the toilet and my knees hit the sink.

will stay again
apart from a few tiny improvements it was fabulous. could do with a row of hooks on the wall near the door (room 6) and we were unable to watch a video stream with the wifi, but it was free wifi and emails etc were fine. will definitely stay again and intend to go next year for sure.
