Very surpised. I was looking for an economical place as I was just here for business. If you stay in room 405, have a nice view of the ocean.
The staff is wonderful.
The room smelled a bit funny, but could have the window wide open to enjoy the coastal breezes!
If you love old hotels with creaking stairs and wonderful Renaissance art, this is the place! Truly enjoyed my stay here!!
There is a LOT of street noise, but it helped me to get some work done and didn't bother me at all, so if you don't like street noise, don't stay on the West side of the hotel.
Also the stairs are a bit steep, so if this bothers you, take the slow elevator! :o)

we enjoyed the staff and the location. near the ocean and pier and the prominade.

We found this place by accident, we hadnt booked anywhere and went into one place that wanted $225 odd for the night plus $25 parking. We weren't that keen but worried we wouldnt find anywhere, turns out they wouldnt accept cash so we moved on. Then we found this hotel and what a find, I walked into the lobby and thought, yep, this will be more than $225! but it wasn't and only $14 parking which I thought was reasonable. It is in such an excellent location and our room was lovely and big and a great feel to the place. Soooo glad we didnt go to that other place. Breakfast was good! muffins, coffee, danishes! Ok, nowhere to eat really but we were happy to go back to our room and eat. I'd defo recommend this hotel and stay again.

I really enjoyed my stay here; I was there for four nights at the start of September. The hotel is a great price considering you are centrally located. The rooms were clean and the staff and very helpful and friendly. Our room was on the second floor, and we found it to be a little noisy being so close to the street. There was a strange smell in the corridors, but thankfully didn’t spread to the rooms. However beside these points, we had a lovely stay and would recommend the hotel. It is a typical city hotel. Again I want to thank the staff for being extremely helpful and they always had a smile.
I suppose I should mention the infamous breakfast! I don’t think it was as bad as some of the comments here. I personally think it was a nice free start to the morning. There wasn’t much room to eat but we took our breakfast back to the room.
