Hotel was very nice with adjacent parking lot. Room was spacious. Tight ramp to get in and out of hotel with the luggage chart, but doable. Within walking distance of restaurants and coffee shops.

It’s impressive how they turned this historic building into a hotel. Outside of the rooms in the hallway it looks like it could be an actual courthouse, but inside the room was spacious, bright, modern and clean. There was a free breakfast which was okay. There was also a decent fitness centre in the basement. The property is at the top of a hill, and you can see the sleeping giant from in front of the hotel. One of the most unique hotels I’ve ever stayed in.

Nice place to stay.

This old courthouse that has been remodeled was a very nice place to stay. The room was a little small and electric outlets were a bit inconvenient but it was clean and comfortable. The price was reasonable.

What a novel and extremely comfortable place to stay! The converted courthouse offers beautiful accommodations at an affordable price. Francis who was at the desk was friendly, fun, and helpful. Be sure to book a room with a view of the Bay.

Nice but be aware

Nice view of the drone show from the top of the hill, need to trim the trees in front just a bit. Nice enough, parking is a plus, but the surrounding area is a little sketchy. Methadone and Suboxone clinic across the street, emergency room just behind, mental health in-house clinic a block away. The local restaurant fare is excellent though. Staff was friendly and helpful, breakfast is basic but fits the bill. HVAC in my room had a squealing fan bearing that got progressively worse but the weather was nice enough and the window opened, no heat was needed.
