Excellent!
Awesome hotel, 4-night business trip, quiet / safe area, ample parking. Very close to Treasure Island, anything you want to eat very close. Elevator needs updating, the breakfast was good, just the eggs are powered, and the sausage wasn’t hot enough, just warmed a little…..

Disliked: Amenities
I have stayed here in the past and enjoyed it. The only downside this time was the extremely low quality of the towels and washcloths... The washcloth was so cheap and rough that I got a small abrasion on my face washing my makeup off. Then, the bath towel was so linty that I had pieces of lint in my hair and on my skin. Worse, I accidentally brushed up against the towel with black pants and I was covered in lint! It was as bad as owning a shedding, white dog. That was the last day I was in town for business and had 6 meetings. It was also the last pair of clean pants I had packed, and I don't travel with a lint roller (I have not needed one). I did the best I could to clean the pants, but there was still white on them. I informed the hotel staff and they did offer to provide a lint roller, but by then I needed to get to my first meeting. It was embarrassing to have to go through the day like that. Otherwise, the room was clean and comfortable, the breakfast was great, and the staff was friendly and helpful. It's a nice little hotel, and I hope they see this review and make some changes to towels and washcloths for future guest comfort.

Lovely old hotel in a location that is fairly close to Treasure Island and other beaches. The room was comfortable with vintage furnishings. The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very adequate though not scratch-cooked. Interesting neighborhood with some beautiful residences nearby. All in all, a great stay, just not a super-luxurious one.

This historic hotel has a lot of charm and personality. I enjoyed my stay here and the breakfast was great. At first I thought the spring mattress would be a problem since I'm used to sleeping on memory foam, but it was actually pretty comfortable. I did not bring my own shampoo and conditioner, and instead used the shampoo and conditioner provided by the hotel - that was a mistake. My hair felt so gunky and gross after using it. I couldn't wait to shower when I got home. The front of the hotel is nicely landscaped, but I don't think I'd be tempted to hang out there since it faces a busy intersection. The pool was not enticing at all. Of course it was cold when I visited, but still...small pool surrounded by a dark wooden fence with the background noise is traffic...not too appealing. I will say, I like that they give you codes to use to access the hotel after hours and to access your room. Makes it easier for you to not lose a key card! Overall, I enjoyed my stay, but probably would choose a more updated hotel in the future.
