Our room was in the former Place Hotel building which always had great music playing when you walked in but smelled pretty musty. We were in a room just outside the breakfast area which was super convenient. It was also adjacent to the breakfast prep room for staff which was horrible because they were in there banging around at 5am each morning so there was no sleeping in.

For some reason the room was too warm most of the trip. Despite the thermostat saying it was 62 it felt like 75. It was also on cool. It wasn’t till the temperature outside was high enough to kick in the a/c. That was the last night unfortunately
Also we disappointed to find the free breakfast was a continental breakfast.
We stayed here when in town for one night for a baby shower. The location was convenient to many attractions: ferry landing, fishing outfitter, and places to eat. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The accommodations were modern and appealing. The room was spotless and the beds were very comfortable. Only "issues" were that there is no ice machine on premises (you can buy ice in the little store in the office), and the breakfast would be nice if there were some protein options. Breakfast is more grab-and-go stuff. But the stay was amazing. Definitely recommend this hotel and will likely stay there again!
We liked the first floor dining area it had many tables and a tv. the room was clean and nicely decorated. the bad thing about the building is there was no elevator, if there was i did not see it. with my back injury is was tough climbing the stairs with the luggage. I asked for a 1st floor room but none was available.
The handicap accessibility was amazing. The room was so spacious, able to maneuver with no problems. Enjoyed fish from across the street at Fins. Highly recommend
