We lived the location and the breakfast. The only thing we didn’t like was the beds were too soft. Probably should be replaced soon. Everything else was excellent!

This is a lovely property close to the inner harbor. A great breakfast is included in the price. The property is very quiet. We usually rent a suite that has a large livingroom with a view of the side of the parliament. It is a short walk to downtown shopping.

It’s Okay

This is very much a dated motel that has kept itself up. Things are little rickety but work. You get what you need but value to the cost is on the expensive side especially when they are charging twenty dollars a night for parking - that is a total money grab for a place like this. There is room service but they don’t really clean your room that well - pull covers on bed and fresh towels kind of thing. I think it’s the service staff that smokes on the second floor in the evening. At least there is a balcony to help get the smell out. The best thing is just the proximity to walk downtown.

This is an older property, but the rooms have been updated. They are very clean and functional. I appreciated having a balcony, and the free breakfast in the morning was delicious. There's also underground parking available for $20 a night.
