The service was nice, our A/C, bed, and shower were all great. It was very quiet at night. The close location to Wharf and Downtown eats is great. We had a top floor corner room, which we hoped for. But I think we were too far from the router, our internet was awful. Also they bizarrely had an ashtray right in front of our window, so we dealt with smoke and smokers frequently.

The hot tub closed at 9pm on a Friday. Since my stay was over the weekend, I would have appreciated if hot tub area would have been open until 10pm. Also, there was no shampoo or conditioner or bath wash in the room.

Older but clean and good location

It’s older, but it’s clean and a quick walk to the wharf. Walls are thin, but it was quiet at night. This is our second time staying here.

Wife and I were there for Ironman event, with central IM Village directly across the street. So location was perfect for our trip. Owners were very nice and helpful, and general condition of this older hotel was quite good: updated and tasteful. Pool and 2 hot tubs were nice bonus, but bedding and towels just average. Although we had room on pool level, it was quiet in evenings. Room service was spotty--had to get our own fresh towels most days. Was disappointed that there was no form of breakfast--continental or even coffee in the lobby. On plus side, close walking distance to beachfront and pier, many restaurants and cafes, so food was just a short distance away. Overall a C+ with reasonable rates given location.
