Shuttle service makes it worth the stay
Pros:

We didn’t eat the breakfast there. The shuttle service that runs downtown all day was amazing and was the reason why we stayed an extra day. Drivers were extremely friendly and helpful. Nice view of the harbor from our room.

Cons:

Elevator was out of order. Hardly any of the ice machines worked. Shower was really slippery . Balconies were advertised, but they are sealed shut from your room

Insane and unsafe
Pros:

Absolutely crazy experience. Stayed here with my husband while he was recuperating from a surgery from the VA. Someone had their dog literally loose on the 3rd floor, multiple times, over the span of the entire weekend. When we would open the door to see where the barking was coming from, the dog would be there, growling at us!!! Make this make sense. Room was not cleaned properly either.

Well never return.
Cons:

The thermostat in the room didn't work. It was 62° in the room, a service man came up to fix it and then it went up to 77°. It was very uncomfortable to say the least. There were also stains on the bed linens and the sheets smelled like sex.
