New Owners, Positive Changes

I often stay at this hotel because it is close to the bridge and a park I enjoy. There are new owners, and they have already made positive changes. The bed was more comfortable than prior visits. The bedding had definitely been upgraded. It was soft and new compared to the old, dated, gross stuff there before. The area was quiet, despite being right across from the highway. The room itself was very clean. Probably could use some updating, but did not detract from the room. Desk staff and managers were very friendly and super helpful. Looking forward to my next stay.

This hotel has just been taken over by new management a month ago. I can easily see that the last people left it in very poor conditions. Good luck to the new owners, they have a long road ahead. As far as where this place is located; couldn’t be any better! Fast trip to shopping, excellent dinning next door and very close to the ferry’s.

Odd odor, not much of amenities. Beds seemed clean and were comfortable. Not a bad place just to hang your hat overnight. The biggest irritation was that people parked in front of our door which affected ease of loading and unloading. Perhaps designate the parking spots with room numbers.
