We had no need to drive anywhere. Staff amazing, friendly. Clean room and bedfing, bathroom clean and clean towels etc also living area really neat. Breakfast something for everyone. More than enough choices to eat. Just the room next to us really noisy women and men. Other than that a good choice to overnight. We had a suite with a view on the William A Irvin ship. Weather was perfect. The lift bridge was the highlight when we watched a ship from Canada coming in.

Really old property that is banking on their location in central Canal Park to make up for not having updated the hotel in 40 years. Severely understaffed, slightly dirty, and by far the worst breakfast I’ve had at a hotel. It’s fine if you need a suite or kitchenette but I wouldn’t stay here again.

For the price we paid, we were disappointed. Our “suite” had a kitchenette, and a pull out couch. Our room was musty and had a peculiar odor. Turning on the AC helped with the strange odor. Breakfast had a selection of items, beds were comfortable.

We liked the location but for the price the rooms were extremely tired , mold on ceiling in bathroom, room was dusty, mice droppings in bathroom. Seemed extremely understaffed. Parking lot that was for hotel guests wasn't being monitored, many cars that were not supposed to be parked in there were. Watching drug deals happening in the hotel lots with non guests was more than concerning. We didn't bring it up to staff as they seemed over worked. Most likely will not stay at this hotel again

Arrived and were told that the room was clean and ready. Given the keys and upon entering the room it was still untouched from the previous guest, needs unmade and garbage laying around. Went to the front desk and were told that her computer says it was cleaned so she wasn't sure what was going on. We were told to return after 4 and it should be ready. Upon return it still was not cleaned so the front desk moved us to a different room. The first bed was completely broken. The second bed had sheets with obvious stains. There was hair on the toilet seat and on the shower wall. The TV in the living area was missing it's power cord. The only positive was the view of canal park.

I haven’t stayed here in many years. It needs serious updating in rooms. Stayed in inner room with no windows. Was very dark and did not expect a handicap shower with very small bathroom with a small sink area with hardly any room to put things on vanity. Beds were squeaky when getting up out of them or turning over.

We stayed for six nights. We stayed once pre-covid, and it was great. We were disappointed when we came this time and saw how dirty things were. Mold in the bathroom, broken dirty drop ceiling tiles. They no longer have housekeeping come around at all. You empty your own trash and leave it outside your door. Ours sat there for two days. Need towels? Toilet paper? Come to the lobby to get some. Dirty towels? Leave them outside your door where they too will sit for days. The employees we saw were all working very hard. There just clearly weren’t enough of them on site. Someone needs to hire more staff.
