The location was probably the best on the beach. Everywhere we wanted to go was walkable. There was a large covered porch that we were able to enjoy happy hour and listen to the nightly entertainment.

Charming old hotel, steps to the beach and walkable to the downtown area. The staff was friendly and helpful and the food at the restaurant was good. The old cage elevator is very cool. Rooms are small but well appointed - only wished for more towel racks for wet towels and bathing suits. Loved the free beach pass/umbrellas/chairs!

This hotel is well kept, but still old. If you're looking for modern amenities, like elevators or streaming services in your room, you won't find them! But if you'd like a clean room, quaint feel and walking to all the historic district options, this is for you.

This place is smack dab in the center of everything BUT needs major updating. Our bathroom door wouldn’t close, we had to lift it to close. No hot water from the sink. No pressure at all in the shower. The window had rotten wood and didn’t close all the way. We had to walk up 3 flights of steps cause elevator only fit 2 people and had to wait for employees to bring you up. We understood the history of the place and ole world charm but some modern necessities need to be addressed. The room was clean but bare. The chair in the room was uncomfortable and falling apart. We had no where to lay down our bags cause there was no furniture. My phone wouldn’t charge all the way each night I believe cause the outlet failed. No wifi service at all or very weak. They need some boosters for higher rooms. The bed was ok but up against a wall with itchy sheets but that happens in many hotels. The parking is convenient but fills up fast. They gave us coupons for food/ drink and also beach tags. There was live music which was entertaining. Overall a positive experience just needs alot of TLC. Also not worth the money they asking for it.
