a satisfactory stay
evening entertainment large room weak sound old building
the breakfast was good. i enjoyed the large room, it suited my needs perfectly. the evening entertainment in the 1812 bar was amazing after the show at the pavilion. it was a fantastic way to unwind.
the sound isolation was weak in the old building. it reminded me of every footstep echoed right next to me. i struggled to get proper rest because of this.

The hotel's location is AMAZING. I walked to the beach and town with GREAT ease. The bar and club next to the hotel entrance provided entertainment. SECURE, reasonably priced parking eased my stay.
My room's window faced the bar's emergency exit. Loud music and people disrupted my sleep until late.
