Employees were pleasant. Hotel is run down and not very clean. Our toilet stopped working and the front desk dropped off a plunger, which didn't fix the problem. We later discovered that earlier, while my daughter and I were out, maintenence had stopped by to ask my grandson if the toilet was working ok, so apparently were aware of a problem when renting the room. We changed rooms, but there was also an issue with an apparent water leak in a nearby room and a resulting horrible smell in the common areas. The breakfast service was one of the saddest I've seen. Next morning someone decided to work on the stinky room right after breakfast with the door open? We were gagging while leaving the hotel. The property is right on the harbor but that's the only thing to recommend it.

Very large room. Small increase in price for the Marina view was definitely a good choice. Comfortable bed. Furniture was very old and the bathroom fan really needed to be dusted. However, the rest of the room was clean. Price was very reasonable for the location.

Construction happening in the parking lot adjacent. Balcony slider wouldn’t close. Entire floor marked as “non-smoking” yet it smells like an old Las Vegas hotel. The location is beautiful, but the property really needs a makeover.
