We booked the king room with a harbor view. The room, on the top floor, had a beam ceiling with brick walls, which we appreciated as we enjoy historical inns. The picture window was a plus. The complimentary continental breakfast was plentiful and changed each morning. Staff members were attentive.

Very vintage. Rooms were clean and bed very comfortable. One tiny elevator for a lot of rooms and didn’t really feel secure outside hotel at night. You have to park along street or in remote parking…

There is nothing unique about this property; the lobby is dark and depressing, the rooms are small, and the receptionist said she would make a reservation for the best fish place in town but didn't follow through.

The property is super convenient to the Downtown location. The rooms are very spacious and clean. There is a lot of food places and a club down the street. Not disruptive at all. We parked on the street on the weekend, and it was completely free. Overall, was very nice stay!

The staff was nice but the room was very dirty…hairs in the sheets, looked like the bed was not cleaned between guests…bathroom hair and floss on floor …there was 1 towel in bathroom, the staff did bring towels right away.
Had to walk down 3 flights of stairs with luggage since elevators were not working
The area around the hotel is seedy…lots of homeless…the waterfront which is 10-15 min walk is nice near the ferry.
I would not call this a boutique hotel…no food service at the hotel restaurant, maybe cause it was a Sunday? lol would find somewhere else to stay

Parking at this hotel is three blocks away in a shady part of town. Walking back at night didn’t feel safe. Overall this hotel is not in a nice area of town. Would not stay there again.

The fitness center is small. No a/c. Three pieces of equipment. Elliptical, reclining bike and treadmill. One weight rack and bench. Elliptical was new. So small, no air, gotta hope no one else comes in.
