Property was run down. Room had a distinct smell, maybe mold smell. Great location near shopping and beautiful water view. The bed was the best bed I have slept in away from home.

This is an excellent location with easy check in although I did call to get help. Towels and bedding lush. The room was old and a little dingy. Shower was so so. Very soundproof compared to other hotels.

Happy

Our room (#9) was ground floor and looking directly at the harbor. Street parking was right in front of our room (8-5 only 90 minutes allowed) but was easy met. Room was spacious and clean. Looks like it was updated within the last year. Very convenient and easy walking distance to great dining and shopping. Highly recommend it.

Room was clean and even though hotel is older, the room had been updated and was nice. Very happy with our stay. Only one slight issue, the water pressure for the shower was pretty weak but it still got the job done! Location was fabulous though and I would stay here again.

The exterior of the hotel is terrible and in poor condition. The room itself was clean, comfortable and well appointed, however it is a convoluted system to register, lock your door and get any kind of assistance. View is terrific but the hotel is weird!
