Friendly and helpful front desk staff. They stored our luggage for us since our flight got in early. Area around the hotel was safe to walk even at night. Room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was adequate. It’s about an easy 2 block walk to the cruise ship pier. It is being renovated currently, but did not affect us at all. No noise or debris. We enjoyed our stay.

The rooms and everything where fairly nice and freshly renovated, the hotel was under construction still which was okay. But the biggest down fall was the street rooms we had where very very loud because of the train crossing would ding every 10mnts and the train would honk a very loud horn

We arrived to a hotel that was under construction and looked abandoned and neglected inside due to all the work going on! At night we could hear every noise and alarm from the next door room as well as all the outside noises from the train, planes, fire engines right next door, and boats in the bay. Definitely not an ideal stay, but staff was very nice. Continental breakfast was also boxes of cereal and make it yourself waffles.

The construction in the room next to us was kind of loud, also when the cieling was leaking and left the floor soaking wet it was annoying. Luckily the hotel was in a great location, so when we had to evacuate we had plenty of options where to go.

The hotel is tired and undergoing renovations. The light and heavy rail tracks are directly behind the hotel, with old windows that aren't great at blocking train noise. Staff is helpful and working well with the facility they work in.

The rooms and the place was completely different than the pictures, very disappointing. It is going through renovations but they did not disclose this until I was already in the hotel. Elevators have just the foam and have graffiti all over, not what I expected for what I payed
