While it is an older building, it is spotless. Ask for a fourth floor room to get double height ceiling with a frosted sky light. Free breakfast was fine. Super convenient to ferry or Clipper. Walls are a little thin. Most guests were quiet, but if a baby is crying or some comes in late and loud, you will definitely hear it. Based on price and convenience, we will stay here again when our trip is just a place to stay the night of a concert or something. Not what I would book for a special occasion like an anniversary.

The hotel was very clean. Just a bit outdated. The Breakfast was very good as well. We would’ve liked some bottled water in the room. When we asked for some they had bottles for sale.
