Room clean, attractive. All mod cons needed and then some. Great value. (One heck of a walk into the center of town, tho.) Black Cab Co. highly recommended....sorta like a London cab.
So-So hotel - Fair location

The, A/C was too loud - the elevator was very slow, it even skipped a requested floor. The breakfast bar was poor for the price ($* hot / $* cold). The location was fair (5/10 min from resturants and shops, but kind of an edgy side of town. NOTE: The guest parking lot stated "Lot subject to flooding at high tide - use at your own risk".

The hotel is nice, fairly quiet, and nice room sized. I would reccommend if you have any issue whatsoever to ask to speak to a manager, we've stayed here two times and both times we had issues with the front desk workers.
We requested the highest floor possible (our kids love looking out the windows of high buildings). The view was beautiufl, The beds were not very comfy, and the maids would not bring extra pillows.
The restaurant is fairly priced, however the food, is "you get what you paid for".
Overall, I wouldn't stay here again, but I'm very picky.

"Front Desk morining person was fine, the afternoon lady was very stressed out, started crying while we were in line (not a good sign!) I think we got lucky with our rooms one of the air conditioners was musty smelling but rooms were pretty clean. The hotel is aging and needs some updates. Breakfast at the restaurant is not worth the $8 they charge."
Maintenance

Rooms pricey for quality. Air conditioner not at capacity. Maintenance discovered filter way past needing cleaning. Roach encountered in bathroom, tub is a liability waiting to happen due to slippery rubber mat and no hand bars. Cleaning staff courteous . Will not book here again.
