Older hotel good for a 1 night stay

Interesting older hotel. Fire doors every 4-5 rooms. Lots of stairs. There is an old rickety elevator if you are on floor 2 or higher. Bed is a ok, but could use a cushioned mattress pad. Ok for an overnight stay before a cruise, but I wouldn't want to stay longer than that! There are a lot of restaurants and eateries close by.

The hotel was convenient to walk to the port terminal. The hotel room was clean and staff were very friendly. It was very unexpected that the hotel room floor was on a significant slant. Just based on this, I am not sure that I would stay at this property again.
