President Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This was a lovely hotel that we returned to multiple times on our trip and each time the rooms were excellent. The staff of this hotel is also incredibly friendly and helpful. We really felt taken care of and the location would be hard to beat. Breakfast is also delicious and included. You’re about 1 block from the ocean and you can see Lion’s Head from the hotel. You’re also about one block from an area with tons of restaurants. Would stay here again."
