Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean but a bit on the older side. I enjoyed the patio and the nearby amenities. It's located in a convenient location near lots of shopping. There's a fee of $15 for parking per day, which isn't disclosed upfront but I knew about because of reviews I read. They should make it a point to be clear up front about additional fees. Other than that, my stay was excellent.

Meh. Location, location, location.
I was surprised with the quality and not in a good way. One wall of outlets didnt work, the bathroom fan did not remove any moisture during a shower and the whole room smelled of mildew. The door chain fell out of the wall and the filter for the AC/heater was full of dust, hasn't been cleaned in a bit. I would much rather choose a different hotel and walk a couple blocks to Old Town.

It was the worst experience we had, from the pool being ice cold (not heated), where was the hot tub!!!! Room was dark like a cave, the shower didn’t work at all, the handle wouldn’t even move!!! The onsite restaurant was closed!!! We had booked 3 nights but left after one night!!! Completely ruined our holiday plans!!!
