What
a
funny
little
find.
This
felt
like
a
grand
version
of
my
great-grandmothers
house
from
the
1920's;
high
ceilings
with
rounded
joints,
cracking
plaster,
marble
accents,
splintering
wood
doors,
and
old
wardrobes
with
contact
paper
lining
on
the
shelf.
This
is
an
old
building
by
the
sea;
it
needs
a
lot
of
love,
but
also
brought
a
lot
of
charm.
This
is
a
wonderful
stay
for
the
budget
conscious
couple
or
the
solo
traveler
looking
to
be
as
close
to
the
beach
as
possible.
Someone
with
a
love
of
antiques
or
vintage
would
be
right
at
home
here.
I
wouldn't
recommend
it
for
someone
looking
for
a
luxury
weekend
or
for
families
with
children.
What
would
be
charming
to
a
grownup
might
be
unpleasant
or
spooky
for
them.
-----The
LOCATION
is
pretty
great.
Right
across
from
the
promenade,
the
beach
is
just
a
short
walk
away.
(Pack
your
swim
shoes
though,
cause
those
rocks
are
real.)
If
you
get
a
room
with
a
view
of
the
water,
the
sunrise
and
sunset
from
the
little
balcony
patio
are
deeply
serene.
Night
life
was
a
15
minute
walk
away
and
there
was
plenty
to
see
and
do.
If
you
want
to
go
farther
afield,
the
bus
stop
is
just
down
the
street.
-----The
STAFF
were
extremely
kind
and
helpful.
They
welcomed
us
each
time
we
came
in
and
were
good
enough
to
let
us
leave
our
bags
on
the
premises
for
a
short
time
between
check
out
and
our
train.
-----The
BUILDING
doesn't
seem
to
have
a
lift
so
if
you
have
mobility
issues,
make
sure
you
mention
it
before
booking
so
they
can
arrange
a
first
floor
spot
for
you.
There
are
stairs
into
the
lobby
so
if
you
are
a
wheelchair
user,
you
will
need
to
keep
looking.
Walls
are
a
bit
thin
(as
is
common
for
an
older
building)
so
guests
need
to
be
noise
conscious
and
courteous.
-----The
ROOM
had
strong
reliable
air
conditioning
and
a
programmable
safe.
No
fridge
or
hairdryer.
The
bathroom
is
very
tiny
and
you
can
tell
that
fighting
the
mold
is
a
losing
battle.
-----CLEANLINESS
was
good,
but
not
great.
I
can't
lie,
I
was
a
bit
worried
with
the
age
of
the
property,
but
the
floor
was
swept
and
the
furniture
was
brushed.
My
only
complaint
was
that
there
is
dust
coating
the
walls
about
halfway
down
the
ceiling.
This
is
actually
*very*
common
with
any
building
that
has
high
ceilings,
but
I
would
love
to
see
them
brushed
down.
-----A
NOTE:
The
front
gate
closes
early
when
the
staff
lock
up.
If
you
arrive
later
than
that
you
have
to
come
in
"the
back
way."
You
*must*
notifiy
the
hotel
if
you
believe
you
will
be
checking
in
after
dinner
time.
They
explain
this
a
bit
confusingly
in
English
so
to
help
you
out-
A
few
of
the
hotels
share
a
parking
lot.
To
enter
after
hours
you
have
to
come
in
through
a
locked
gate
a
few
villa's
down
and
walk
through
the
back
parking
lot
to
the
rear
hotel
door.
It
will
also
be
locked,
but
they
give
you
a
key.
