The rooms were freshly painted and updated however there was rust flaking from the bathtub which should have been replaced with the updates and the room was crowded with the table and chairs in the room. Overall, I would stay here again if only staying for a day or 2. Anything more than that I would need something bigger. Pool was fantastic. Parking was rough with all the golf carts parking there for dinner at smacNally’s.

The door was swollen from humidity and you had to hip-check the door to get it to open. What I failed to realize was that meant the door could not be opened from inside the room ...a serious fire hazard. They did fix the door before I returned to the room later in the day.

Soaking wet floors but nice location.

The location was excellent within walking distance of everything. Our room AC system was not working correctly and did not discharge the condensate out of the room resulting in a soaking wet floor. Front desk disagreed and said we must have set the thermostat below 70 degrees when we had it set for 74. Our room door was extremely hard to open as it was swelled tight - had to punch it each time as it would not open with a push.

Reserved a room for 1 night. It was a pic of a king, handicapped bathroom, harbor view. Got charged extra for the bathroom. My husband is an amputee and has to use a walker to walk. Definitely didn't get a handicapped bathroom so he couldn't get in there. The door was swollen and i had to get help opening the door every time. When we checked out, i told the lady in the office. She said i should have told them. Why? No vacancy so that would of been a waste. They've lost our business!!!
Very short toilet.

Property is on a busy street because it is a main thoroughfare fare to the ferry to swan and cedar island. Place is convenient and walking distance to several restaurants and docks. The lights on the passage way are really bright and no way to darken the room because of the curtains. They are very pet friendly.

We paid a premium for a "harbor view" room. Our "harbor view" from our ground level room was of a white fence surrounding the hotel's pool. The room was located in a high traffic area with several groups congregating outside. The door had expanded due to humidity. It had to be opened by a process of coordinating a turn of the key with a health shoulder shove on the door. Only if coordinated successfully could key be turned and the door shoved open. We paid way too much for this and won't use this service again.
