Very old motel, the socket near the bed does not work, the key to enter the room stops working by itself, the elevator can get stuck, the transport is noisy around the clock, cleaning is only upon request! in general, you can stay for 2-3 days if there is no other option! upon check-in, I had to pay another $100, as I understood for booking through the Expedia app, and another $100 deposit!

First off the staff was rude. No greeting or farewell. Night stand by the bed was sticky, there was hair on one of the beds. There was no light bulbs on 2 of the wall lights. Another head ache was getting the tv to work. You have to do multiple steps just to turn the tv on. We just left the tv on all day and night because it was such a hassle. I do have to admit the bed was comfortable though. In all you get what you pay for. It was a cheap price but so was the quality of the room. I won’t stay here again.

The WiFi was weak and unstable. Only the bedside lamp works in the rooms so at night the rooms are very dim- I changed rooms so I'm sure it's not just an issue with my initial room.

First positive; free parking for one vehicle, considering how expensive parking is that alone is great. Second, they had a family room which is big and roomy. Has 2 tvs, fridge and microwave. Bad is doors dont have extra locks like the chain or bolt, and the furniture is very worn and mattress is non existent. Like sleeping on coils. But was quiet overall and affordable

Being on Lombard Street provides easy access to the waterfront. The location also has many dining options. The front desk staff were very courteous and helpful. The bed was very comfortable. Enough soap and towels were provided. I think the room service was lacking with making the bed. I also thought the room did not have enough lights. I’m a student and it is difficult for me to do work in a dark environment. Overall I still had a positive experience and would recommend the motel to anyone visiting the area.
