The hotel was very nice and in a great location. It was only a two min walk to all the restaurants and the Sealife Center. The room was very nice and clean and Paulette at the front desk was very nice and gave us some great restaurant recommendations. Would highly recommend this hotel and we will definitely stay here again the next time we visit

Beautiful and charming hotel
Beautiful old hotel with lovely furnishings and charm. Check in and out was quick and easy. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Wish we’d been able to stay more than two days but hope to be back next year.
