When arrived and pulled up under the covered area where the front doors are to go in, my wife was dropping me off to go inside to check in. While obtaining my wallet to go inside an employee walked out and rudely said you can’t park here. I informed them I know m. My wife was dropping me off to go check in and I was in the process of stepping out of my vehicle. After checking in and entering into our room the door would not shut all the way. The door frame was not aligned which caused the door to not close very good. The deadbolt lock would get stuck. The manager on duty came up to assist and just told us to be sure to just shimmy the lock and it would close. No offer to swap room. So we stayed and felt with it. After our first night, the next morning the bathroom counter was covered in water and water was on floor. There was a leak under the faucet. The hotel sent a maintenance crew up to fix it. Other than those issues we had no other issues. We had called to ask for the manager to voice our complaints and was told they would have the manager call us. We never heard back. We were only there two days so we didn’t bother to pursue it further. We decided we would not be staying there next time. The hotel lobby and rooms were clean but after the experience we had we were not pleased.

We did not eat at the hotel, so I cannot comment about the restaurant, but the hotel was very clean and the rooms were very comfortable. The staff was very polite and helpful. The only reason I did not give them a 5 star rating was that the hot water ran out on the day we checked out. However, I would definitely stay there again.

The room offered a nice view and was spacious and clean. However, there were a few issues during our stay. The TV was not a smart TV, and the air conditioning unit had an auto-lock feature that prevented a constant fan setting and would turn off even when the room still felt warm. We reported this to the front desk, and while they initially said it could be fixed, the handyman who came up said he was unable to resolve the issue. Additionally, our room was only cleaned once during our 3-night stay, despite us being out of the room for 5–6 hours each morning. On a positive note, the breakfast was excellent with a wide variety of options. However, the surrounding area had a significant number of homeless encampments, which made walking around at night feel unsafe.

The property is basically old but well located in walkable distance to port locations and attractions. Parking was included in the price of the room, a plus. Staff was courteous and helpful. The bed was comfortable but we had to ask for second chair to be brought up so one of us didn’t have to sit on the bed. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.
