Our room, #107, was in very poor condition. This is an old property in desperate need of renovation. The dampness and mold had my eyes watering. Every movement of the room above us could be felt and heard, and literally shook my bed in the night. The floor was so dirty it was sticky. The towels and tub had hair on them. Do not stay here.

Pier Blue for Two

It was a decent, reasonably-priced room. Room + lobby smelled slightly of cigarette smoke. Perhaps an air cleaner or deodorizer would help to clear the old, stale air odor.

The room was fine, although the a/c unit was a bit loud. I think it might be on its way out -- may need to be replaced. We stayed 2 nights. Our first night was a bit rough as other guests around us were a bit loud and there was a dog barking a lot. Car doors were slamming and people were very noisy going up and down the stairs to the upper floors. The stairs were close to our room. Our second night was a lot quieter and nicer. We would consider staying again if we need to come to that area.
