The A/C was out in entire building, they opened the screen doors which was so loud outside and sweltering heat. The room was dirty garbage and not cleaned. The shower is scolding hot or ice cold and randomly changes on you. Staff was awesome and great location.

We loved the view of the capitol and the harbor from the top floor room. The AC was out and the room was near 100 degrees both days in spite of everything we could do, so we did not sleep until well past midnight each night when it cooled down enough to be comfortable.

Good location is only real plus. Hotel is in extreme neglect, to the point it was actually comical. A/C broken, bathtub cracked and peeling, faucet dripping, cobwebs in the light fixtures, bedspread torn, swimming pool abandoned…for example.

The hotel is in desperate need of a complete renovation. Air conditioner for entire hotel out of service, shower either freezing cold or scalding hot. Planned on a three-night stay, left next morning (without a shower). Then had to chase manager to get refund.

It was okay. No a/c in the hottest part of the year and when ice and wind from the sliding door is the only thing that makes it bearable. Check in was easy but the first room lights didnt work. They switched us to smaller room and it was okay.
