In short the good 4*s: great property, clean rooms (stayed in the King bed room), great option if you like the trolley while visiting, 1 vehicle only parking unless paying extra, free wifi, had 20ish channels on TV, amazing Thai food across the street, 15ish minutes to walk to George Street, 30ish minutes to walk to the augustine distillery. The only negative thing was that breakfast hot food. It was edible but the sausage was questionable. The biscuits and gravy was good. They did offer bagels, cereal cups, and bananas.

There was blood on the sheets. The room was dingy and poorly maintained. For close to $300 a night the room was dirty and all the furniture was cheap. It was a poorly renovated motel.

I looked at the pictures on the Expedia website and they looked very nice but the pictures were nothing like reality. Our room was in a state of complete disrepair. If I can attach pictures to this review I will to support my comments. The exterior of the building had not been taken care of and the inside was not good either. We have never stayed in such a bad place. My husband was afraid to sit or sleep in the bed. We saw bugs on the floor and it felt like we were in a slum hotel. It had an upholstered suitcase bench that was covered in stains. In the morning when we took showers neither of us had hot water and that was at 8 in the morning. We went to look at the breakfast but we were so disgusted by the room I felt sure where they prepared the food was probably not clean or maintained so we didnt eat the free breakfast. I would NOT recommend staying at the hotel.

Purchased 2 rooms for one night stay. Over $300 per room . Facility tired and needed revamp. Staff friendly , room clean . Felt room value was more $100/ night value . Sheets thin , imbedded old stain on sheets. Breakfast sausages looked anemic, watery . Safe bet was just coffee and cereal . Very disappointing for the cost.

This is an old motel that has been renovated. Housekeeping was bad. Just left clean towels. Bed left unmade, and trashed not emptied. Had to request a hairdryer! Breakfast OK. Not worth what we paid.
