Vintage property with cool public spaces. Live music featuring very talented rhythm and blues. Restaurant is convenient. I was lucky with street parking and the beach umbrella and lounge chairs are a plus. The front desk was super helpful. They brought my bags up to my 3rd floor room. If you like the vintage feel this place a good choice. I will book here again.

The staff was uniformly great. Decor is very Victorian! Not so great having to climb lots of stairs - no elevators. Plumbing fixtures in bathroom awful! Plumbing and electricity very dated throughout. Only 1 TV in the coffee room, they should also put 1 or 2 in the bar. Outdoor music fun and lively scene.

No TV -which I neglected to read before booking. Not a B&B. Breakfast is a la carte. No fridge in room. I had to throw my very expensive leftovers away. They DO however, give a pass for beach valet service which is really great! Staff is nice. Would only stay again out of necessity though.

If you like old world history this historical hotel is for you. My visit was during off season so didn't get to experience the hotel in full swing. Had nice amenities for being an old building.

Beautiful exterior of the hotel and loved the historic aspect. Lovely bar and the breakfast we had was amazing! Highly recommend the pancakes! Only downside was the walls are REALLY thin. Would probably request to be on an upper floor if possible in the future!

The main building was closed for off season, we were given a room in a house converted to a hotel, we can hear the neighbors talking, I hit my toes many times going to the bathroom, very disappointed, not what your website advertised, please review your hotels and confirm their services. I have to be careful with Expedia selection in the future.

This property is very old and charming. My room was spacious and very clean. Aside from having to walk up several flights of steps to my room (but the view made it worth it) I enjoyed everything about this property.
