8/10 Good

An old hotel, old-fashioned charm and you may just get lost in one of the corridors or quaint stairways and happen upon some of the ghosts, where they meet up to catch up and impart their ectoplasmic charm. I had a super night’s sleep and was up at the crack of dawn to be greeted by the waves.
JAMES, 1-night trip
