Hotel Needs Some Improvements

The breakfast selection was poor. Choice was a waffle you made yourself, apple, orange, choice of the different flavor muffins, coffee (from a machine), orange juice and water. We stayed from Saturday until Wednesday and they had signs that stated "Excess our mess we are doing some construction to our facility" We did not see one construction worker the whole time we stayed there. The safe in the room did not work, the shower water selection knob was loose and leaked. The water pressure was really low in the shower and we were on the first floor of the hotel. The hotel parking is on the ground level. One plus is the hotel is within walking distance to the pier, the lighthouse, shopping area and many restaurants. Front staff was helpful but none of them had any uniform or even a shirt to show they working there. Not professional. I worked for a large hotel management company for many years and I would give this hotel a four out of ten rating.

Very old and dated. Dark and dreary. Not inviting. Large dark and unmatched furniture and window coverings. Drapes too long and covered air conditioner. Some furniture even placed in front of windows and mirrors. Uncomfortable furniture around pool and pool area/furniture not set up each day. Room was so smelly we had to keep balcony door open. Bathroom disgusting, moldy, poor lighting. Large laundry/garbage carts always left in main corridor so guest had to walk around them. Terrible breakfast selection, just do it yourself waffles and bowl of apples. Popcorn machine always empty. Hard to park. Luggage carts stored in front of door to front lobby balcony so you couldn't even step out on lobby balcony. Slow elevator. The only good thing about this place was the location.

I would stay here again

The hotel is well situated for walking to many places. It is quaint and mostly clean, but the showers and sink are stained with mildew. To be fair, they are in the process of renovating. The bed was very comfortable - better than mine at home. The bedroom was very clean.

Unique hotel but cleanliness was lacking majorly

They have construction for remodeling going on which we were aware of going into the stay. However, the rooms were filthy. Bathroom still had head hair and pubic hair on the floor and in the bathtub. The bedroom floor was a dirty as well. The highlight was the bed. The most comfortable hotel bed I’ve ever slept in. If the room would’ve just been clean, it would have made the stay much more comfortable. The overall setup of the hotel is cool too. Unique layout and views. I hate to give such a bad rating but the cleanliness was just awful.
