Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's excellent location near the beach, shops, and restaurants, making it very convenient for sightseeing and dining. The charming and vintage atmosphere was also appreciated, with many enjoying the boutique feel and spacious suites. However, several guests reported issues with cleanliness, maintenance problems such as leaking AC, broken heaters, and plumbing issues, as well as some dissatisfaction with service responsiveness. The hotel shows signs of aging, with some rooms being small and outdated, but overall it remains a favored spot for its location and ambiance.

being on the 2nd floor was a drag, we aren't young and the stair were difficult to manage. We absolutely loved the location and the staff were excellent as well.
