Pros:

Quite and close to where I needed to be. Bed was firm and comfortable , has small refrigerator, had good size TV however didn't watch it, air conditioner worked. Good size room and view of harbor.

Cons:

No door sign for do not disturb or need maid service. Maid knocked on door around 930am, check out is at 11.
Room needs a deep cleaning, light switch covers were dirty by bathroom sink and front door. Bathroom baseboards need cleaning and floor in the corners, some ceiling and wall repairs and painting. Needs old caulking removed as some areas had mildew or rust and apply new caulking around bathtub.
Curtains only opened on one side, so you were not able to get full view of your harbor view out the window, one side had the rod to push/pull curtain open the otherside did not, and when trying to open by just pulling it would not move..

Location great, room questionable.
Pros:

Staff was friendly and helpful. Location was perfect, close to the cruise port.

Cons:

The hotel had an odour of an older place, so that wasn't great, but understandable. The bathroom was quite run-down, but again, for an older hotel, I could overlook it. What was unacceptable was that there were no blankets on the beds, just two sheets and only 2 thin pillows per bed. We were very cold and uncomfortable as the AC wouldn't turn off, and we ended up opening the window for heat.

Wouldn’t stay here again but I would visit the food venues in the area.
Pros:

The bed was GREAT, very comfortable. The location was very close to port, perfect walking distance.

Cons:

The room itself needed LOTS of work, from a random sink in the middle of the room, to crazy smells. I was very worried about taking a shower in there so I didn’t even attempt it in my 1 night stay. The carpet was up in a couple places and it seemed like a random mix of utilities put in random locations.

You get what you pay for
Pros:

The location was amazing. Walking distance to the cruise terminal was important to us. The San Pedro fish market was across the street, so it was a great option for dinner.

Cons:

The establishment needs a complete remodel. Carpets were old, our shower curtain rod was ready to fall off, the bar soap they provided was about 1" x 1 1/2", and the room just needs some TLC.
