Despite the age of the building, this was a beautiful hotel. I loved the dark, beautifully lit hallways but bright and beachy rooms. All of the staff was friendly and very helpful. We asked for additional toiletries and they were brought up in less than 10 minutes. It’s a great location to the beach and the other art deco hotels. We would definitely stay here again.
