Good for the price and location.

I’ve stayed here before and the rooms are definitely getting old. Bathroom really needs updating. But it was still acceptable for one night. Both ladies in the office for check-in and out were so kind and friendly. Great spot and good value. I’d stay here again even though it’s rather old.

The service was nice, our A/C, bed, and shower were all great. It was very quiet at night. The close location to Wharf and Downtown eats is great. We had a top floor corner room, which we hoped for. But I think we were too far from the router, our internet was awful. Also they bizarrely had an ashtray right in front of our window, so we dealt with smoke and smokers frequently.
