Pro's: Clean, affordable, quiet, updated, comfortable bed, good water pressure, friendly staff. Con's: Coffee maker (makes weak coffee) Amenities were right across the street. Unless you book for bay view, expect really, no view. Great place to sleep. Recommendations: Replace coffee makers with single serve Keurig's
