Had a great stay at this boutique, historic hotel. The room was lovely - comfortable, renovated and clean. I felt very safe at this hotel and had an excellent sleep! The location is fantastic - a few minutes stroll to the beachfront. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend for solo female travelers.
