This was so lovely, everyone was so helpful. Right across from the beach and a bit of a walk to the pier, but worth it. Went for the art walk and the zoo. The building is a bit of a maze, but beautiful. Rich with history!

Location is great, service is very good. for the condition of the hotel, I think it is over-priced, for that price I was expecting a better room in better condition.

I realize this is a pet friendly hotel, but don't stay here if you want a good nights rest. We were on the first floor and there must've been a dog fighting party happening in the floor above us. It sounded like pit-bulls were being spontaneously let out of cages every thirty minutes. We called to complain three times, and not much was done. We have two small kids, so the noise was a total disaster, but we eventually just took it on the chin and tried to get some rest, since we were only staying one night. Apparently this hotel is more concerned about the feelings of sensitive pet owners than about their other guests. We wouldn't stay here again.

Location was nice but a bit away from the fun area of SB. And I use the term "fun" loosely. Room could use an extra chair. And the decor could be improved. Blank walls...
