Black Mountain Open Space Park

The staff were very friendly and helpful. This is a great historical hotel. The hotel provides a complimentary walking tour on weekends which was very informative. The location is conve ient for exploring the city.

Expect to pay a lot for your room and to park your car in their underground garage. It is nice to be right on the beach and to have a pool and hot tub though. Their breakfast is average (juices, fruit, cereal, bagels, toast, eggs, bacon, sausage or waffles) but their coffee is scalding hot and not good. There are local coffee shops nearby that are so much better. They provide robes and beach towels in your room to use and there is a coffee maker we never used. They also offer water in your room at $3 a bottle. We were in room 212 and had an issue with hot water. It takes a long time to get hot water in the shower (there is no tub) which is such a waste of water! The staff is very nice in the breakfast room, the lobby desk, the housekeeping staff and the maintenance staff. The sunsets were amazing from the beach and there are many restaurants close by but an added surcharge on every restaurant adds up fast and no one could explain why we had to pay one. Overall, we had a nice week away but it was expensive.
