8/10 Good
"I first stayed on the second floor from August 22-24 where my room was located over the alley. After experiencing the outside noise from the street, I requested a room on a higher floor with less ambience upon my return from my cruise. As a result ten days later I was assigned a room on the fourth floor in the center where it was much quieter. Granted the building is older and has some interior noise but it has character and friendly and helpful staff. Besides a great staff, the hotel is located near great choices to eat and explore which does mean outside noise at night at times."

"It is an older hotel but maintained well. We stayed here before and after our cruise and will do it again. The employees are very friendly and will help you if they can. They have a security guard 24/7. The front door is locked. They have coffee and cold water for you all the time. The AC is a quiet AC being an older building. Walking distance to the Parket and the needle."

"The room was clean but it has some issues. For example the shower head was falling out of the wall and the floors were wet when we checked into our room. We were also told we were only aloud one water bottle a day which seemed crazy. But overall it was clean and safe and has water and food for purchase."
