Great location within walking distance to many attractions. Recommend visiting seafood city. However the bathroom was not very clean. There was mildew in the shower and stains on the towels my biggest pet peeve. Why hang towels that are stained. There was hair in the bathroom. I was expecting more yet I would return for a better room.
