Hotel is dated, there are no darkening blinds for the windows. I was kept up till 2am due to the loud music from the bar attached to the hotel. Had to park offsite and pay double parking costs due to the hotel parking area being overtaken by the public. My worst hotel experience ever, at least there were no bed bug.

I thought this hotel was lovely. It is older, but has been tastefully renovated throughout the years. The staff is professional and polite and the manager went out of her way to make us feel welcome. The included breakfast was a bonus! The location is great but the only downside is that parking was a challenge to find at times. Overall a great stay!

First room didn’t have curtains. Second room is in need of a deep clean. Gym facility is in pathetic shape and the flooring on the lowest floor have obviously been damaged by water but it doesn’t appear to be under repair or any plans to repair.

The staff were very friendly and the area was ideal. Set in the heart of downtown, nearly everything was within walking distance, and the train station was less than a ten minute drive away. The path along the water was a huge selling feature for us. We enjoyed a daytime walk to the park with our youngest, and an evening romantic stroll as well. Breakfast was free and included. Parking was additional at $15/day which we didn't realize, but not a huge deal. Would go back again.
