This is an older historic property with lots of great pictures of the nice pools. The rooms are extremely small and they don’t offer room service. Televisions are outdated and only have about 40 channels with no access to Netflix or Amazon Prime. The place is in need of a serious upgrade if I am going to stay here again. Some friends stayed at a hotel 2 blocks north for less than half the price and the hotel was nicer and had oceanfront rooms. You have to walk across the street to get to the beach at the Betsy. Location and their friendly staff are the only 2 positives I can give the place.
