The staff was wonderful. Friendly and attentive. We could hear the ocean waves from the window but it was quiet in the evening so not bothered by late night noise from Main Street. Highly recommend this hotel for your stay.

Old spooky hotel near beach

Old hotel with poor minimal services and overpriced as near the beach. Room was tiny and everything is old dark and dusty from stairways to furniture. Bed was uncomfortable as old mattress of poor quality. Very dark room at night as lighting was inadequate. No air conditioning was big inconvenience as no air circulation when sun was hot in the afternoon and room heated up. Staff was courteous but unavailable at night reception. Safety is compromised as our cell phone was stolen from our room desk when we went out.
