“I noted the hotel's prime spot near the beach and the Landmark Theatre positions it well for leisure. While some find aspects dated, I appreciate that every room includes tea and coffee facilities, a simple comfort often missed. Though parking is limited, the daily-changing menu, including vegetarian and vegan options, strikes me as a genuine effort to please a variety of guests.”
