Great location, cute with lovely lounge

Great location, super cute hotel, especially the lobby area. Was a very nice touch to get a drink upon check-in and the staff was lovely. Couple of things in our room that could have been better: 1) there was no outlet in the bathroom (!?!) & 2) it was a double bed (the room overview said it would be a queen) in a queen frame. Because the frame was too large for the bed, we kept mud-judging where the corners were and our shins are covered in bruises - ouch!

The best part about the Maq is the building. Love the old character mixed with modern quirkiness. The front desk staff were 2/5. Next time we will pay a bit more to get a location on the water with hot tub etc. and better staff.

A nice, no nonsense hotel.

No frills here, but that's A-OK. It was clean, the hotel people were very helpful. The walls are a bit thin and it felt a bit like staying in a dorm room, but overall I'm not upset with this particular booking. I would recommend it.

We decided to cancel about 48 hours before our stay due to a nearby fire and my husbands health issues, making smokey air a risk to him. When I contacted them, they refused to refund any money at all. Very upsetting

This was such a nice hotel! Walkable, clean, and had a nice cafe and sitting area. It was especially nice when it was pouring rain. We were able to sit out there and enjoy the view. Very dog friendly.

It was fine. Room was nice and clean but no fridge (but it did have a cooler and we could get free ice at the liquor store downstairs), no AC, wifi was terrible (we couldn't connect and staff had no idea how to fux it), tv was pathetically small and of poor quality. While the hotel focusses on style, it lacks significantly on substance, especially considering how expensive it is during high season. Breakfast in the lobby cafe was fantastic.

Convenient + centrally-located, very walkable area. Lobby is open + spacious. But in 2 weeks of travel, room was the smallest with the fewest amenities + the highest price. No chair to sit on, no table or desk to place items on, no fridge. Room for 1 suitcase; cant imagine how 2 people could actually share the space.
