It’s an old place so things are worn but it’s clean, neat and great location. If you want fancy, pay 10x more down the street in either direction.

Great location but dated
The front desk associate was very nice and even let us check in early. The room was clean but the sheer curtains were torn. The bathroom leaves a lot to be desired. You can tell this is an old property that needs to be updated. The location is awesome though. Our only big complaint is that we left for the entire day and had the please make up room tag on the door and they never did make up the room. We stayed for two nights.

We had an issue with our magnetic key. After 2 days, the staff finally changed our room. The staff was very accommodating. The hotel is dated and will be torn down next year.

I like the area of the Marina, that it is walkable, and has decent dining restaurants with beautiful fews. Although I have stayed here before, and the hotel is dated and soon to be demolished late 2025, this time the staff member was intrusive. I have my service dog with me, and she made a derogatory remark about him. Per ADA laws, her reference was discriminatory. She stated in a rude voice: " he better not be an emotional support dog!" Her statement was not cool!
