Old hotel with history but very limited on what they can do without ruining the integrity of its lineage. The price was in line with the deficiencies. Conveniently located to activities and old school charm. Enjoyed and would book again.

This place was terrible to stay at. I highly do not recommend it. The room was extremely small. The showers were extremely small. The construction in the bathroom look like it was done by a five-year-old. The water never got hot and it looks like they may have ran out of water at one point Not worth the price. The hallway floors look extremely uneven. For a few extra bucks, you can go to another place.

Prime location close to the bar scene and beautiful bay views…but be prepared to hear your neighbors and for slightly uncomfortable beds. More than 1 night may be a little tough at this hotel.

The last maintenance was in 1800... great location, friendly staff but we felt like in those Halloween movie buildings. And the information they provide about the Parking didn't mentioned that at 5am I'll be charged as a new day (arrived at 10pm and left at 11am, paid almost $40)

Wouldn't stay here again.

Room was pretty clean but the bathroom bordered on disgusting. There was no place to keep my toiletries in the bathroom. A/C was a bit noisy but worked well. TV was very small...I had to sit right in front of it to read the guide. Also no parking at the hotel so we had to use a parking garage 2 blocks away. A 2 night stay cost $60 to park.

Liked: Cleanliness
No one answered the phone at the front desk when I was having an issue knowing where to park (the hotel has NO load-in area, FYI). The location is great, but that's the only thing good about this hotel. Our bathroom door wouldn't shut properly, there was no rack to hang your hand towel by the sink... It's really just a place to sleep, nothing more.
