Gorgeous hotel, walking distance from beach and shops, highly recommend! Room was also clean and quiet. The breakfast was also very good, buffet style, with great healthy options. I went as a young, under 20 year old couple, and we were treated the same as everyone else. Would definitely go back!

Charming & Fantastic!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Bradley James Hotel, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish! First off, the location is fantastic. It’s conveniently close to the beach and some charming local spots and attractions, making it a great base for exploring the area. The hotel itself exudes a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. The lobby is tasteful and immediately makes you feel at home. The room was comfortable and stylish, with a perfect blend of modern amenities and classic touches. My room was impeccably clean and I particularly appreciated the little details, like the complimentary cookies waiting there, which was a nice touch. The staff at The Bradley James Hotel truly make a difference. They were friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with a smile. Whether I needed a recommendation for a local restaurant (thank you by the way) or had a question about the amenities, they were there to assist. I’ll definitely be returning!

Beautiful rooms but limited bfast during week

Everything was great except advertised breakfast was not available (apparently only on weekends) which was the reason we booked it in the first place. The advertised Balthazar bakery goods were not provided only some fruit and sliced bread; staff was also not able to provide anything besides drip coffee - this should be made clear on their website. Otherwise, the place is quite nice and they do provide convenient beach chairs and towels which is a plus.

The hotel was modern and clean. The staff was extremely friendly. They could probably look into the water pressure for the shower which was light but not a deal breaker. Daily breakfast was excellent. Great stay!
