Good Room/Parking/Location

Great location to the Wharf and all of its activities and attractions. Secured parking for peace of mind and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Rooms were great but only downside, the curtains let a lot of light in but overall we enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again.

Birthday get-away not fun at all!

Rough start, more housekeeping help is needed on Sundays to accommodate a large number of new guests. Also, communication is key when informing guest about situations. Don't offer early check-in if you can't guarantee it. All in all, not the best in customer service.

Would not recommend the place to anyone. There was hair all over the bed and urine all over the bathroom toilet.

Overall we had a great time in the area! We did the bus tour across the street, which worked out amazing for us to see the big sites since it was my first time there. Being across from the 7-11 though, very loud at all times of the night. The property could definitely use an uodate that isn't shown in the pictures, but I give it 3* for the overall experience we had there.

Get in and get out

Under construction. Absolutely no air conditioner in rooms. Only way up is through one elevator. If you get your room through this app they charge you double for parking. Parking was $30 addtionally. If you book through them directly, parking is $15. This place is decent if you only need it to sleep. Get in and get out.

Need to do better

Had an okay experience, not that good but also not extremely terrible. We had someone on our floor who was screaming bloody murder like they were being killed all the while they were throwing their pillows and and stuff from their room out of their room. We went downstairs to complain and there was nobody working there. We have 3 children and they were trying to sleep. My fiancée went down stairs to complain first and I waited a little bit before I went down stairs and it said they were on their 30 minute lunch break. They were def gone longer than 30 minutes and someone who was trying to check in was waited to check in the property and park in the gated parking lot. They waited for almost an hour as well to get helped. We finally received a call from the desk almost 2 hours later but we didn’t answer due to annoyance from the negligence. The room was also extremely stuffy and basically had to sleep with the door open all night for it to stay cool.

The first room we were put in didn’t have a proper lock so we were moved rooms. Everything was just overall rundown and very dirty. There were signs stating things were being renovated, but it all looks dirty and about to fall apart. Lipstick on a pig is what comes to mind. Location is the only reason to stay here, it’s close enough to walk to pier 39 but that’s about the only good thing here.
