The gentleman at the front desk was very polite and welcoming. Nothing beats the view. The building is a bit older but it’s a good place for the price

The room was excellent.
Parking was good, but if I had brought my truck the parking would not have been adequate.

good option for single night stay on budget
friendly check-in/out. rooms have odd set-up, guests need to stand up to turn on/off bedside lighting, no fan in bathroom, water in shower does not maintain hot/cold (reported). had to move furniture to find outlet for charging device. good budget choice, good waterfront view, welcoming staff.
