Property is well located within Old Town, pool was nice on a sunny day. Beds were comfy. Needs a little updating, rooms were dark and the lobby was messy chaos at breakfast. If breakfast ended at 9:30, they took plates away at 9:28 even if you happened to be cooking a waffle and grabbing some bacon for your child at the time. Kids were eating right out of the lobby popcorn machine. It is a decent hotel for Old Town but would recommend skipping the free breakfast or getting there first thing in the morning.

The property is very nice. It is in a neighborhood of tripping hazards on almost every sidewalk. The staff was somewhat professional but our 5am wakeup call came at 3:40am instead. Didn't try the breakfast. Had to catch a flight before it was served.
