Room was clean but needed updates - old mattress, stained, mildewy carpet, dated bedding. Front desk receptionist seemed more occupied with her smart phone video games than behaving professionally. Breakfast was continental, at a minimum. Coffee was ok, bland bakery goods, no warm food options such as eggs, bacon or sausage, potatoes. Upside: wearing proper walking shoes, harbor and restaurants withing a mile.

The room was nice & clean but the desk chair fabric was torn in a couple places & foam padding bulging out. We were surprised we could use the side door entry from lower parking area without having to use our room key. Also disappointed no coffee machine in room and lobby/breakfast coffee not available until 7 AM.

Disappointed in the overall condition of this hotel. Rugs were dirty in our room, bed mattress was like 20 years old. Our room window was broken with bugs flying inside it. breakfast was nonexistent. Muffins and cold pancakes are not acceptable. Needed hot food. Eggs/sausage etc. not really a fun experience for our time up there.
