"Great find of what is probably a historical hotel for the area. Definitely has that historic charm with the high end classic interior. Loved room seating area and we could open windows for fresh air. Only let downs were that we could never find the communal lawn area pictured around a firepit (I question whether this is a local park, not at the hotel). There is no view of the ocean from hotel; the brush has since grown too tall, but you can hear the waves from west side of bldg. Breakfast was the one/only serious underperformance. Waffle irons were the only hot food item (which is fine, it lists “continental brkfast”). But, what was offered was so illogically laid out and it made for impractical foot traffic patterns. More importantly, grade ‘D’ on being kept stocked. All carafes were out of coffee repeatedly. Juice, syrup, bread/bagels… all ran out (and this was at 8:30am, not the end). Made for a lot of frustrated and unhappy guests. Better to just offer coffee/tea and keep those stocked than this. I did laugh that on a credenza right by entry to brkfast area, the hotel had a local directory opened to a page for a nearby breakfast diner. This is a really neat and clean, classy vintage hotel. The lack of good breakfast is not a reason to pass on staying here. But in respect to this beautiful old gem, either uphold that standard or stick to coffee and offer a $10 voucher to a local diner. Do brkfast right or dont do it at all. Guests were NOT happy, espec @$200/nt"
