Disappointed. This hotel needs an upgrade. The rooms were clean but lobby and hallways are very dinghy. The beds were very uncomfortable and the double room was two small for two beds. They were pushed against the walls. Heating/air conditioning system was loud. Area is very noisy as there is a restaurant bar below the hotel. This could a gem with more effort as it was close to waterfront, good restaurants and shopping.

Parking is a huge issue. There was no available parking spots in the rear. They will give you a pass to park at a different off site location however that was full. I had to pay at a different location. Breakfast is seriously lacking. Not many options. The basement room I had was very small. I could hear the people above me and beside me. It also faced the parking lot which proved to be noisy I feel the cleaning staff need to be thorough . The mirrors in the room had handprints all over it. Someone must have spilled coffee all over the bathroom door and that was also missed. I guess you get what you pay for but a little more effort will go a long way

High points - the woman who checked us in - one of the most pleasant and polite pers.on that I have ever met. Conversely the general manager is the opposite of that. Wants to argue about hotel rules - ie, I knew the rules, he wanted to contradict them. The rooms are smaller than normal. Breakfast is advertised as continental, it is cheap continental. I am not sure I could stay here again.

Entrance to hotel from parking lot involves a staircase making access with heavy suitcases challenging. Shower pressure poor. Anyone with long thick hair would have difficulty with shampooing. Hallways and stairways not clean. Bed comfortable. Staff helpful.

The hotel is near the waterfront and main shopping street. Unfortunately they have very minimal parking( in a tiny lot behind the hotel shared with a restaurant). Need to walk to and from secondary lot. Staff not overly friendly. Very rarely spoke to guests and on checkout I got ‘do you want a receipt?’. Did not get ‘how was your stay, hope you enjoyed staying with us, hope you had a good trip,hope to see you again’. Continental breakfast very basic(white bagel, white toast, Raisin Bran muffin all three days I was there). Room was small but ok. View was caged area in a corner. Would not stay there again, and I’m pretty easy to please

Obviously a great location and the staff was excellent. Parking is fine if you are fortunate to find an empty spot in their lot behind the hotel (water side) however you need to be prepared to park a couple blocks away otherwise (especially on a weekend). Our room was fine, but the bathroom was not as clean as one should expect. It wasn't terrible but the toilet needed an extra wipe down on the seat and there was visible hair in corners. Based on some other reviews I think they have some issues getting the quality of bathroom cleaning that is expected. The management should put some incentives in on that front. I'm not squeamish about that stuff but I know some people would have raised hell if they had my experience.

Deceiving!

No manners for greeting, very slow. The room was in the basement, had to go through the dirty bedding and laundry carts to get to the room. The room was damp and smelly. Even had a small vine growing out of airconditing. That is to bad because the hotel is so well situated.
