Check in was smooth but we got welcomed with a giant roach when I got to our room. The receptionist didn’t us a big hassle she switched our rooms. The rooms are super small they don’t even come with a sofa. The shower is not big enough for a toddler. There’s no parking provided & they just suggested the parking garage. We only stayed one night we just needed somewhere to sleep. This wouldn’t be my first choice of place to stay

PROs 1) Price point $100s less vs newer hotels this close to sea terminal, 2) Our bed had very comfortable mattress, 3) Elly & hotel staff at reception were pleasant, very helpful, knew local places to eat, called an oversized cab for 4 persons with luggage to take us to sea terminal, 4) Cold water in lobby nice touch. CONs This building has issues due to it's age: 1) slow elevator, 2) shower tiles must have been installed by a blind person, 3) key used for suite door locks, 4) Hotel diner was closed / being renovate, so we walked to Flores for best breakfast ever!

When I booked the room, it was misleading that I had a quadruple with 2 double beds. The room was really small with 2 queen size beds not 2 rooms with 2 beds. I feel like that was false advertisement. Other than that, the hotel is at convenient location downtown walking distance from a lot of stores.
