I had a pleasant stay at the Cumberland Hotel, which is beautifully designed in Art Deco style. The room was comfortable and the breakfast options were delightful, providing a great start to the day. However, the atmosphere was somewhat disrupted by a wedding party that occupied the bar area, making it feel less welcoming. Additionally, the lack of air conditioning made the room uncomfortably warm during the night. Overall, it was a good experience, but a few adjustments would elevate it further.

I had a delightful stay at this charming Art Deco hotel. It offered a lovely atmosphere with an inviting lounge and a great dining experience. The staff was impressively friendly and attentive, which added to the overall enjoyment. However, I did find the waiting time for the lift a bit frustrating, especially during peak hours, and the drinks were on the pricier side.

Our visit to the Cumberland Hotel was truly delightful, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately made us feel at home. The dog-friendly policy was a huge plus, as our furry friend was treated with special accommodations at no extra cost. However, our experience at the nearby hotel prior to arriving at Cumberland left much to be desired, particularly in service and value for money.

We loved that dogs were allowed in certain dining areas, and while the dining experience was good, it was primarily due to the atmosphere rather than the menu variety.

While the Cumberland Hotel has some charm and a prime location near the beach, my stay was marred by uncomfortable room conditions and loud disturbances. The dining options were enjoyable, especially dinner, but overall, I found the rooms dated and lacking the necessary controls for a comfortable experience. The value for what I paid felt a bit off given the issues I encountered during my stay.
