The property is dated and old and it shows with the paint peeling off and general infrastructure in need of fixes - elevators etc. Otherwise, the service was OK in terms of bath supplies, etc. We stayed only 1 day so cannot speak much to cleaning after. Lady at the front desk was good, helpful and welcoming. When we booked through Orbitz, it was not clear that the parking was a separate charge. Some of the reviews say parking is free, which was part of our calculation to book. Actually the Hotel charges $30 per night when you charge with a 3rd party site. Keep that in mind.

As soon as we got to this property, we were off to a bad start as they said their parking was full, despite us being told when we called that we would have a spot. So, late at night, my family and i had to find an open parking garage, pay for parling, and then walk multiple blocks with all of our luggage. When we finally got to the room, there was a pubic hair on the bed, blood stains in the toilet, and a bath tub that looked like it hadn't been cleaned in at least a week. There was no other rooms available to switch to since they were sold out and since it was late at night on a Friday night, there was nothing else available to move to. It was quite the bad experience for my wife, 8 year old son, and myself. We will never stay here again and would advise everyone else to stay far away.

Fantastic location and good price for the room. Only annoying part is paying $40 for my “oversized” vehicle that parked in the exact same parking as everyone else and didn’t take over anyone else’s space.

I don't really do reviews but I did see some before my stay and it was really hit or miss. But to be quite honest, it was a great retreat. Staff was awesome location is everything was very quiet during my stay, I didn't feel threatened at all. Definitely visit again, the Pier the wharf. Everything is within walking distance.
