This property is very quaint and historic. This is definitely not your modern, run of the mill hotel but it is very cool. You feel like you are walking back in time to the 1930s and 40s. The breakfast was fabulous. Bed was comfortable and room was spacious. Access to the beach was convenient.

Lovely place

Service, breakfast, and cleanliness were excellent. Bed spring mattress and type of pillows could be better. Because of my back concerns we could not sleep here again for that reason. Also, no ice.

Convenient, excellent service!

Very conveniently located, right off the main road near restaurants and attractions. The bed was very comfortable, I don't know if it was the fresh, beach air but I slept like a baby. Breakfast was eggs, biscuits and gravy, and they had a nice spread of fruit, yogurt, cereal, coffee, and many different pastries and breads. Excellent service.
