Check in after hours was great. Classic hotel with all the charm and nuances you expect from that heritage. Similar in preservation reminded me of old National Park hotels. Friendly staff and very nice grounds. Breakfast met expectations but did not exceed them. Excellent value and location to the beaches. Would recommend for the value received without hesitation.
