Short get away
It is a nice clean hotel. It is in a great area to walk to attractions and eating places. The hotel is dated.

Enjoyable stay.
It was a very nice room and the view off of the balcony was very nice. The breakfast selection was good. Wife loved the automatic pancake maker.

Convenient location
Room was old but clean. Bed comfortable, towels nice and soft, air conditioner worked very well. Location was convenient for what we needed and canal behind the hotel makes a pretty view from rooms.
Staff not friendly or helpful. Building is old—doors stick and carpet needs to be replaced.
Pub next door was excellent!

Only hotel with rooms
Older business in need of alot of renovation.
It was the last options in our budget.
Non smoking rooms smelled like smoke from guests smoking on balcony, carpets where old and questionably clean, bathroom needed a deep cleaning.
What was good, lovely view if no one was smoking on neighbouring balcony, A/C worked and the sheets where clean.

Econolodge stay
We were there for 1 week, at no time was the room attended to. This is the 3rd time i have stayed here, its a budget hotel that suits our needs, but a little more attention should be paid to the accommodation

"smoke-free" hotel realed of cigarettes inside
Same patches on the wall from visit 2 years ago (same room as visit 2 years ago)
No fan in bathroom for ventilation
Bathroom counter had toothpaste/mouth wash spit circles on the counter
The only good about this hotel is it's central location, and that its on the water.

Look elsewhere
Very sketchy. We needed an affordable place the stay and booked online. Of course it was a non refundable reservation and I can see why. I would have rather spent the night at a local shelter. The room was disgusting. Carpets were stained. Curtains let light in because they were badly worn. Beds felt like sleeping on plywood. Pillows were old and had no support. Walls had dammage that needed repairs. Save your money and sleep in your car.

The staff was friendly, at least the gentleman was, not the female night person.
The property is very run down and just patched up not fixed properly. Charged 20 dollars for a pet fee when advertised no charge.
