old school charm with few amenities

The hotel staff was excellent and very attentive which added to the charm of this hotel. The breakfast buffet was delicious and the views were wonderful. The downside was they only had a portable A/C which did not cool the room off at all and you couldn't leave it on when using the hair dryer. The beds were also not very comfortable.
