Felt safe in the neighborhood as a single woman traveler. Walls are thin though, I brought a sound machine and was still woken up throughout the night with room doors slamming shut and a baby crying nearby, plus street sounds.

The rooms were clean a bit outdated with no fridge. The elevator would close quickly, there were several times I was separated from other members of my party because the doors shut fast before loading or unloading. At night it was noisy until after 2 am due to nearby bars. On the up side the staff was great, and the property is in a great location, walkable for food, shopping, and the marina. I would recommend others to stay at this location.

I stayed here on the night of the 23rd. The attitude of the female staff at the front desk was really bad. I think if a job makes you unhappy, please don't do it. It will affect the image of the hotel.

Rooms and hotel in need of a renovation. Only one chair in the room. Desk did not have a desk chair, missing furniture was unexpected. One small bar of soap was only amenity in bathroom. The in shower pump for shower gel was empty. Hair in the bath tub. Worst thing is our room faced the back alley, which is next door to a post office. All day and night constantly hearing trucks running, unloading, banging, yelling, never stopped for 5 minutes. We didn't get any sleep. Ask for a room away from the alley.

Overall, it's good bang for the buck. Old but kept well. Only issue, my shower drain was slow to drain, needed a snake down it. Great location. Just make sure and ask for a room away from busy road that runs in front.

I liked that the inn was nearby a lot of dining options. It’s really well located near restaurants. For those who are going for the night scene, definitely convenient as there are a few options across the street. Otherwise, everything else wasn’t as expected. First, the staff isn’t friendly nor welcoming. I smiled at them a few times with no smile back. On a couple occasions, I could see the front desk lady staring at us as loaded everyone up, my dad who’s in a wheelchair and infant daughter. I smiled back after the awkward realization we were being watched but received no smile or acknowledgment of my wave. Secondly, the hot water all over the building was out. We didn’t get notified and when called the person on the other phone couldn’t really give us any information other than we called to get it fixed and it should be fixed later. With an added comment along the lines of “you know, these things happen” they didnt even offer a late check out or apology. They also made my friend move her car so someone else could park in the parking spot by the front desk. She was well within her right as she parked there with an suv and the other driver had a pick up, but really!? They didn’t offer her another spot within the building. Lastly, at night, the front desk lady allowed guest to park in the main entrance and I couldn’t get to the handicap parking spot that I needed for my dad. I had to drive around the block and drop him off on the side. I won’t be staying here again.

This place is stuck in the 80s ! There's even a phone book in nightstand. The furniture is falling apart. It's just totally stuck in the '80s and if you're on any side the Lombard side or the fillmore side you're going to hear a music and people screaming and drunk people until after 2:00 a.m. They should really warn people about this before you get a room there. We definitely would not ever stay here again. Also the bathroom was dirty old crusty stuff in the tiles.
