I got a ada mobility accessible room with roll in shower. It was very good. the only down side was it only had one bed and the pillows were horrible. I did have to request more towel and wash cloths. The stay was very nice and quiet. Easy to get into and park.

Disliked: Amenities
The room was clean however, the toilet and the sink was not properly installed. Both moved when you use it. Every time you say in the bed you heard the metal frame. The water pressure was very weak. Will not stay here again. When asked for another room they lied and said the water pressure was like that in every room.

Great stay! Affordable, central to everything. My only complaint was the people staying in the room beside us, very loud and seemed to be fighting physically most of the night. Service is great! Friendly staff and housekeeping.

Liked: Cleanliness
Convenient location as it is centered by local shopping centers such as target, Costco, home goods and food places, about 10min drive from old fisherman’s wharf, 15-20min drive from aquarium. The place is on a Main Street so you do hear from time to time loud cars but overall quiet. Rooms come with the essentials needs such as bathroom and a bed to sleep however not updated or modern to say, did have ac or heater, tv channels, fridge and microwave, majority was clean besides some hairs in the restroom FYI restaurant next door Gusto, very good definitely recommend pizza and pasta was delicious

Floors were filthy dirty, beds very hard and bases were squeaky whenever you move, and WiFi completely unusable. Rooms pet friendly but fees hidden on site when booking so we ending up paying $400 for 2 nights mid week for a very poor hotel.
