The hotel is older and a little run down, but very clean and safe. Literally across the street from the Pier which was unbelievable! Walking distance to several amazing restaurants, the Aquarium and the tour boats. Staff was gone a lot with a sign "be back in 5" but gone for well over an hour on more than one occassion, so that was frustrating especially when we lost our key and couldn't get in. Parking is a bit expensive, but saves you from having to pay for street parking and the parking garage is behind a key card gate, so is very safe. The beds were very comfy. Shower is very small and water pressure was lacking, but for the price it was worth it!

The room was a little outdated, but seemed clean. The staff was rude and unpleasant, however, during the check-in and parking process. The location and price was the winning factor as it is a short distance from the pier.

The worst night ever in a hotel! On 2nd night of a two night stay we found bugs in the bed. At around midnight we sent an email to the hotel informing them of such and that we would spend the night in chairs and not the bed. After a few hours without sleep we decided to pack up and leave. Around 4.15 am we checked out and was asked by the desk to send a picture to management, which we did. We received an apology accompanied with a statement that they had since checked the room and found nothing, could we send more 'evidence'. We sent a few more pictures which clearly show very tiny objects filled with blood (still have the photos). Since then we have been told that is not evidence enough and have we any 'evidence' of being bitten. I wasn't aware that we should have waited for more bites, but it seems that is what is required for them to even consider a refund on the room or even any empathy. They have given a 1 night refund on parking as 'goodwill'. REALLY NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

We had to tip toe the entire time we stayed because someone down below us complained that we walked to hard and it bothered their rest at 9 am in the morning.

This motel is very close to the wharf and easy to get to the piers. The room was very clean and updated. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We really liked that you parked underneath the motel in a locked garage. This was a great value for the price, a clean bed and a place to park your car. We will stay there again.

Everything was fine. Nothing fancy. You get what you pay for. This hotel was on the lower end of the price range, which is reflected in the room view, service, and other aspects. If you're looking for something acceptable, this place is suitable.
