I could not sleep the whole night in addition to that the area has a bad smell so if you open the window, the bat smell gets into the room and the blackout curtains were not working properly.

Pros (+) Staff were very friendly, breakfast was good, not great. Beautiful location, bathroom was nice but very small and was hoping for something a bit more upscale for the price. Can't beat the location and parking!
Cons (-) No lounge or bar/restaurant, even though there are several in walking distance. No balcony

Pros (+) This is a great location -- on the water, within walking distance of restaurants (choose Duke's). Rooms are nice, very clean, have huge TVs, comfy beds, and offer views. I've always been treated well here and only stay elsewhere if they don't have room or if the price is too high. A decent free Breakfast is also served in a great little dining area.

Pros (+) Don't stay on the south end of the building. Parking lot and train tracks are super loud. You'll get no sleep. The north end of the building is over the water and much quieter.
