The room itself was a good size and the bed was comfortable. Reviewers have commented on the bathroom size, but I thought it was fine and updated. My only negatives: lumpy pillows, doors constantly slamming shut (I was on the first floor), garbage truck just after 7:00 AM (though not hotel’s fault), I needed to ask for washcloths on my second night, returned to room very late on Thursday and found I didn’t have a bathmat or washcloths, no hangars in closet, coffee bar not refilled. Just to let others know: this hotel was built in 1937 and received some updates in 1948, so don’t expect a modern place like any of the major chain hotels/suites. An adequate job has been done to bring it up to a fairly comfortable hotel with the major room amenities. On-site restaurant inside and outside with room service and 15% discount for hotel guests. No carpeting in room (but nice floor tiles), window air conditioner, walk-in shower, large closet, small coffee bar, TV ( I could only find three channels but I was hardly in my room), no in-room telephone. When I was there the elevator wasn’t working so I was given a first floor room. Help was offered to carry bags upstairs for those above floors. A historic property on Ocean Drive and you can access the beach by walking across the street. Beach not visible from the street at this address. I walked around a lot, about five miles each day; lots to see.

The elevator was broken. My daughter is handicapped so they had to put us in 2 rooms on the first floor. The mattresses didn’t fit the bed frames and were hanging off the sides. The rooms had no design. Just white walls. The location was good. We loved sitting outside at the restaurant. Staff were friendly.

Staff have been courteous, however the elevator is broken and we are in the 4th floor, the bell hop helped with some of our bags, but we still had an extra bag that needed to be carried up. The room is quite tiny, no fridge, or ice bucket to run and and get ice either. The toilet would not flush but the staff was very prompt to come fix it when we called to report it. It’s ok knowing we are only staying one night and it was a cheap booking. They did offer a discount at the restaurant on site and have beach gear available included with stay if needed which would be nice if we had planned beach activity.
