Property is well located within Old Town, pool was nice on a sunny day. Beds were comfy. Needs a little updating, rooms were dark and the lobby was messy chaos at breakfast. If breakfast ended at 9:30, they took plates away at 9:28 even if you happened to be cooking a waffle and grabbing some bacon for your child at the time. Kids were eating right out of the lobby popcorn machine. It is a decent hotel for Old Town but would recommend skipping the free breakfast or getting there first thing in the morning.

The property is very nice. It is in a neighborhood of tripping hazards on almost every sidewalk. The staff was somewhat professional but our 5am wakeup call came at 3:40am instead. Didn't try the breakfast. Had to catch a flight before it was served.

Not so good

Not so good experience, it was the worst but not great as at all. The food wasn’t ready on time in the lobby section. The fridge was off when we arrived and didn’t know so our drinks were hot the first day. The cleaning staff took forever. We stayed out of room from 9am until 2pm and our room still wasn’t made up. The staff was always missing from front desk. The people next to us were loud and singing and 10pm.
