🏨 Studio 9 Hotel Review: Quirky Charm at a reasonable rate
I genuinely like this hotel. It’s got charm, friendly vibes, and a great location—but it’s not for the picky guest. If you’re the type who can roll with a few quirks, you’ll likely enjoy it.
🛏️ Atmosphere & Rooms
• The building is older, but it’s clean and well-kept.
• Rooms are small, bathrooms are small. (No room for dancing to your favorite song.)
• Electrical switches are the old push-button style—nostalgic and they still work just fine.
• Staff are warm, welcoming, and super helpful throughout the stay.
🧗♂️ Room Locations & Stair Notes
• Third-floor rooms require tackling steep stairs, but the views from up top are fantastic.
• King-size beds are located on the second and third floors only; ground floor rooms are limited to Queen size beds.
⚠️ Accessibility Overview
• Upper floor rooms are not wheelchair accessible, and the steep staircases may be challenging for some guests.
• The hotel sits at the end of Crescent Ave, up a steep 30% grade hill from the main street—about 110 feet uphill.• After a long day sightseeing, the hike back feels intense.
• If you’re older or carrying luggage, you may want to hire a ride from the ferry terminal landing area.
• Older guests may want a main level room.
• Competitive hotels not on a hill cost roughly $100 more per night.
🚿 Bathroom Details
• Our bathroom was very small.• No sink, just a small narrow shower with a curtain, and an undersized toilet that might
