It’s a beautiful older hotel with the comfiest beds! The location is PERFECT. I extended my stay I loved it so much. The bathrooms are tiny which might bother some but I didn’t care. The shower was amazing.

We like the Sylvia enough to stay multiple times. However, the summer rates have gotten too high for the quality of the hotel. We will probably limit our status to the off season.
