The hotel was ideal and overall clean, had amazing views of the beach and ocean. It was a Victorian building, the rooms were good sized. The beds were very comfy and the staff was superfriendly. The property had a central setting to the Triangle area of the town. Lucky that it was not too far from Harry Ramsden's, offering food to go.
