Pros (+) The staff was excellent. Housekeeping was very good. Quiet location.
Cons (-) Air conditioners all make excessive noise due to rusted components. No exhaust fans in bathrooms
Pros (+) reasonable for the price
Cons (-) confirmed bed bug bites
Pros (+) Refrigerator, microwave, and coffee pot in the room.
Cons (-) We had three couples and three queen rooms. Some of the rooms were small. Breakfast setup was in the hotel lobby with no seating, although there are plenty of tables located around the facility.
Pros (+) Very clean, quiet. Friendly staff
Pros (+) Staff was very nice, booked everything for us. Room was clean and looked like the pictures. It is an older building so the only issue we had was our toilet leaked from the bottom some. Great location, only a block from the southernmost point, and definitely a good value for the cost in comparison with other hotels in the area. Would definitely stay here again.
Pros (+) Location .... Close to everything! Bike rentals on location and other tours as well.
Cons (-) Shower pressure Too much light coming from the window blinds.
Pros (+) The location is great. The accommodations are clean and comfy. The price is steep but you are paying for the Old Town locale. The custodian was cheerful and very helpful. He should be working the front desk!
Cons (-) It is a shame when the first person you meet at the counter sets the tone of feeling unwelcome. The continental breakfast was sparse but ok.
Pros (+) Room was clean and comfortable. Very convenient location.
Cons (-) Tiny bathroom. Lazy, scruffy, inattentive staff.
