Hotel was much more elegant than expected. Breakfast was adequate, but coffee service could have been better. One coffee maker was broken. Had to stand in line for coffee.

Great view of the ocean. Very walkable area. Elegant old hotel, modernized, yet charming. Cafe available, as well as restaurant, for those who like to eat before 8:30pm.
