We stayed at the Crown for New Year's weekend. We loved the room. It was large and comfortable with a fireplace, a jacuzzi, and a terrace overlooking the the beach. The only problem we had with the room was that there was not enough light in the bathroom and there was no heat in the bathroom. Granted, most of the business is in warmer weather, so maybe that is not a priority for them. The location is perfect-- right in the center of town. We were pleasantly surprised to find many restaurants and stores to be open. We went downstairs to the Central House for dinner on New Year's eve. There was a fixe-prixe menu which was not a bad deal. We had very nice wine and a decent dinner. Our waiter, Chris was more than helpful and entertaining. That evening after dinner, we went back to our room to relax before the party started in the Paramount. As soon as the music started, our walls and floor shook and it sounded as if the DJ was in our room. Luckily, there was only a party on that one night. The rest of the stay was pleasant. The two Ricks behind the reception desk were absolutely wonderful-- could not do enough for us.
