The room was fabulously extra large, clean and comfortable. We had a great sleep. This hotel was built in 1911, but has been maintained well. The outside of the hotel however felt very sketchy. There was a hotel security guard that was around. Def needed for the area the hotel is located. The train station is out front of the bay, it’s a beautiful scene of the bay there. The restaurant served a decent breakfast. But only two in our party could eat for free with our hotel stay.

Everything was great. Room was large and spacious. Staff was great. Location is great for actual dining options that don’t include the same old boring fast food chains and exploring the marina and casino if you’re so inclined. Only real complaint is that hot tub has definitely seen better days…maybe decades ago. It needs to be replaced.
