The hotel itself is lovely. The rooms are the size of a monk’s room. King bed took up the entire room. One cell. No curtains, bedside tables, pictures on the walls. Nothing! Had to push the bed in front of the door in order to get in it. At 350 per night, WAY overpriced. We would never go back. Ng

Welcoming staff, beautiful historic hotel with wonderful Christmas decor. The location is perfect for access to the beach and shopping. We also enjoyed the Christmas lights around town in the evenings. The rooms were spacious and clean. The rooms, especially the bathroom, are a bit outdated, but overall it was a great trip.
