Good location
The only thing good about this hotel was the location. We could walk to Starbucks, bars, restaurants, Saturday morning market and the waterfront. The hotel is very old and in need of renovations. The shower has mold in the grout. The light fixtures in the bathroom are rusty. There was no hot water. The previous guest's used washcloth was still in the shower when we checked in. The bed was soft and had a huge dip in the middle. The mattress should have been replaced long ago. It was very uncomfortable and our backs were sore in the morning. The bedspread was old and worn out and in need of replacement. Customer service was not good. They did not come in to clean the room until 5 pm each day. They didn't even clean the room one of the days we were there and we went down to ask for clean towels. They gave us towels but didn't have wash cloths. Next day they cleaned the room but didn't give us wash cloths. We had to go down and ask twice before they finally brought them up. There is no coffee or breakfast offered here, either, but there is a Starbucks within walking distance.

TV didn’t work reported to front desk two times, nothing room had water stains on ceiling and window valances, toilet seat was stained and bed blanket old dingy and looked as if bleach stains on it. The bed very uncomfortable and made noise every time you sat or moved on it. I never complain but this was unacceptable.

The property is charming and quaint.The area around the property is lovely to walk around and enjoy shopping and dining. I would suggest that the hotel provide coffee in the mornings. The small outdoor restaurant downstairs has good food.

Very disappointing
Disappointing. Room has seen better days. Mold in bathroom. Missing one of the towel rods in the bathroom. Headboard coming apart, hallway carpet stained. Hot water was warm at best without using any cold water. Very noisy at night. No usb ports in room. Parking meters in front are turned into valet parking at 5 pm. Could be a real gem of a hotel. Would not recommend.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Liked the convenience and Neuva restaurant. I’m into art deco which was cool. The evening manager tried to help as best he could. Downside was trying to get hot water for showers, housekeeping doesn’t know how to make beds, stains on the walls, linens got progressively worse, although clean, we did not have power to some plugs or TV the last day. We knew the area as we had lived there but were disappointed that this wonderful place is in such disrepair!

Hotel smells musky and stale. Beds were horrible. Giant ridge down the middle, precenting us from sleeping without falling against each other constantly. Bathrooms are tiny and pretty hard to use. Not worth the savings of a cheap room.
