"Queen Victoria was amazing. The whole building and the rooms are quaint and take you back in time. The breakfast is delicious, the staff is beyond helpful, and the extras are great (like giving beach chairs & towels). the only downside was the parking. It is VERY hard to find free parking. That was the only con, but otherwise we had the best trip and loved it there."
