Inexpensive, older building. Tolerable, but needs some cleaning and improvement. Water damage around shower, peeling paint around heat register, broken jalosy window panes on most rooms, issue with key lock, a bit grungy all around.

This trip was from North Carolina for a week with my grandson for his graduation. The room was spacious, very clean, private, and nicely appointed. The staff was excellent and shared great hints on making the trip more efficient and memorable. Hotel rented ebikes to guests which I thought was a perk. Everything within walking distance and a bus tour parked right outside the hotel.

Location is right on the waterfront and Fisherman's wharf. Super easy to drive in and out of, and we were able to visit all the places we wanted to visit either by walking or driving. Building itself is a little beat up (Kind of a 50s-70s resort hotel style with the hallways on the outside), but the rooms are renovated and were decent. Parking onsite, but parking is not free.
