Pros: Good location. Would be great if there were easy ways to get to the promenade without many stairs (we're old and feeble). Through the restaurant is one long staircase down. Out the front is stairs up and down one side. Or a long walk to a street on the other side.
Good rooms. Would be great if they were bigger. But old grand hotels around the world usually have smaller rooms, so that would have been very unexpected!
Cons: Room keys keep deactivating. House cleaning occasionally leaves dirty sheets or only 1 towel. Front desk seems understaffed and usually has long waits.
