چرا مردم آن را دوست دارند
- The nightly 8-10 PM free cookie buffet (red velvet is the crowd favorite)
- Rooftop pool with skyline views (even if it is small)
- Genuine pet-friendly policy with no deposit fees
نکته سریع: A charming historic shell that's showing its age with thin walls and hit-or-miss maintenance, but the staff and location save the day.
بررسی شده توسط @visualsandvacays: I honestly didn't leave the hotel because the food was that good. From the chef making me custom crab cakes to the late-night room service wings, I felt so pampered. If you need a solo reset with amazing dining, this is the spot.

تمام آنچه قبل از رزرو واقعاً میخواهید بدانید
Is the pool heated?
No, and it can be chilly. It's better for lounging and views than serious swimming.

Most rooms have mini-fridges, but microwaves are usually only in suites.
