My stay at The Chocolate Box Hotel was delightful, with a charming atmosphere and so many thoughtful touches. The location is perfect, a stone's throw from the beach and local attractions. I was particularly impressed with the cleanliness and the comfort of the rooms, although I did notice a bit of noise from the street when the window was open. Breakfast was a highlight, featuring delicious options, but the service during peak times could be slower. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I can't wait to return.
