Old and worn
PROS: good mattress, windows that open in room and bathroom, bathroom renovated and bright. CONS: besides the bed, furniture was old and beat up-see photo. Door require key to lock and unlock. Big gap under the door so noise from the hallway and other guests was disruptive. Cups in room were cheap plastic single-use. Heater was not adjustable and was an old wall radiator which was noisy during early evening. Wall art and lamps could have come from a garage sale. No TV in room, wifi signal weak.

We loved the history and architecture of the hotel. Staff was friendly and attentive. Lovely view from our room of the bay. The food at Julia’s was fantastic .The only negative was the noise from party events at night, but quiet by 10:00pm.

This is an old historic hotel. There is no tv only one electric outlet in a room. The pipes are noisy. But that's why you come to BCC. The pool is beautiful. The ere is a little garden plaza. It's a place to relax and talk to family or friends. Read a book and detox.

Property was very unique. It reminds me of the song ‘Hotel California’ but in a good way. Would definitely recommend to family and friends and would love to come back given the chance. Service good. Use of pool was good. I had the pool to myself one morning. Extremely positive stay. Keep up the good work! 🙂👍

The hotel is in an old historic building with charming architecture and a beautiful patio. Rooms are small but clean and comfortable, no TV or fridge. Walls are very thin so every sound in an adjacent room is heard - including conversations and toilet flushing. There is a free coffee and tea station on the first floor. The breakfast and dinner hours are rather limited, breakfast could be longer - especially on weekends. There is a brunch option on Saturday.

We were disappointed that the pool hours were for lap swimming only but for a couple hours on a couple days per week. There seemed to be no temperature control in the room - just a ceiling fan. Luckily for us, the temperature was acceptable. Rooms are small, bathroom is small. No parking was available one night but we weren't charged for it that night. Breakfast offered a nice variety of options with a quiet and formal vibe. We liked the hotel stay overall but perhaps the lack of modern updates would not warrant such high room rates.
