Pros. Refrigerator, microwave, and coffee pot in the room.

Anonymous, Oct 2015

Pros. Staff was very nice, booked everything for us. Room was clean and looked like the pictures. It is an older building so the only issue we had was our toilet leaked from the bottom some. Great location, only a block from the southernmost point, and definitely a good value for the cost in comparison with other hotels in the area. Would definitely stay here again.

6.5Okay

6.2Okay
kawalla22, Jul 2015

Pros. The location is great. The accommodations are clean and comfy. The price is steep but you are paying for the Old Town locale. The custodian was cheerful and very helpful. He should be working the front desk!

Cons. It is a shame when the first person you meet at the counter sets the tone of feeling unwelcome. The continental breakfast was sparse but ok.
