The room was extremely filthy, sheets and pillow cases stained and dirty and clearly was not changed after previous guests used the room. dead bugs under the pillows and sheets along with insect droppings. The bathroom was filthy, water leaking from underneath toilet(health hazard), toilet had urine stains clearly was net cleaned. Shower filthy, Floor was dirty. Susan who advised that she is the owner was very nasty and refused to issue a refund. Will be taking the pics and videos to the media, Healy and building department, and the State to address this. Utterly disgusting.

$300+ for a cheaper than motel feel. The bathroom door couldn't close, the paint on walls were peeling, the sheet on the bed was a dirty yellow instead of the white it looked like it was supposed to be. There was a no smoking sign , but yet the room smelled of cigarettes

Horrible. Not worth the $300+ that I spent on one night. Bathroom smelled. Bed smelled. Everything smelled so bad. The AC is so loud sleep was not possible. They truly trick you with how nice the lobby is. But then you go upstairs and the rooms are horrible. Dirty. Just dirty. The rooms are tiny and uncomfortable. Should not be able to book a room for more than 2 people. Never book this place. Ever. Spend a little more and actually get some sleep somewhere nicer.

Worse hotel ever!! They charge like a 4 star hotel but everything looks very cheap and poor. Room was so small that I had a real problem laying it on the floor. I’m 5’8” and believe me when I said the bathroom was so small that I was a real issue sitting in the toilet. I really do not recommend this hotel, not even if you have an emergency.

The location is very good. Walkable with plenty of attractions, restaurants nearby. The hotel staff are nice. The hotel itself is basic. No real amenities. The rooms are very bare bones. They barely fit the bed and were oddly designed. The bathroom sink is in the bedroom… staff tidied the rooms every day but the floors were dirty.

Check in was smooth but we got welcomed with a giant roach when I got to our room. The receptionist didn’t us a big hassle she switched our rooms. The rooms are super small they don’t even come with a sofa. The shower is not big enough for a toddler. There’s no parking provided & they just suggested the parking garage. We only stayed one night we just needed somewhere to sleep. This wouldn’t be my first choice of place to stay

PROs 1) Price point $100s less vs newer hotels this close to sea terminal, 2) Our bed had very comfortable mattress, 3) Elly & hotel staff at reception were pleasant, very helpful, knew local places to eat, called an oversized cab for 4 persons with luggage to take us to sea terminal, 4) Cold water in lobby nice touch. CONs This building has issues due to it's age: 1) slow elevator, 2) shower tiles must have been installed by a blind person, 3) key used for suite door locks, 4) Hotel diner was closed / being renovate, so we walked to Flores for best breakfast ever!

When I booked the room, it was misleading that I had a quadruple with 2 double beds. The room was really small with 2 queen size beds not 2 rooms with 2 beds. I feel like that was false advertisement. Other than that, the hotel is at convenient location downtown walking distance from a lot of stores.
