Tiny room with fireplace: no room for chairs. Small bed.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Booked a “queen” room and it had a full bed. Asked the front desk about that and was told, “it’s a California Queen”. However, there is no such thing as a “California Queen”! There was room on the sides for a queen bed in the otherwise tiny room. There was no room for any chairs or comfortable seating besides the rolling office desk chair, so we brought the patio chairs inside as we had the fireplace room. It’s hard to enjoy the fireplace without a proper place to sit.
There was a note in the bathroom about calling the front desk for any “common toiletries” you may need, so I called about a disposable shower cap and of course they didn’t have that.

Nordische Möbilierung
Pros:

Dieses Motel hat uns sehr gut gefallen, wegen der weissen Möbilierung im Gegensatz zu anderen Hotels mit dunkelbrauen Kolonialstilmöbel. Gratis Parkplatz. Genügend Möglichkeit um die Kleider zu Verstauen. Grösse vom Zimmer. Alles sauber und gut unterhalten. Ruhige Wohngegend.

Cons:

Leider Teppich, aber zum Glück dunkler Spannteppich und nicht so ein Flauschteppich.

Pros:

The hotel was clean and great for our short stay. It’s a short drive to the aquarium or approximately 40 min walk. We were able to check in early which was a bonus! Free parking as well. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.

We will be returning! It was our favorite new place!
Pros:

The courtyard was our favorite area, it was so perfect for my 2 year old son to run around and play under the beautiful tree!

Cons:

The floors were pretty dirty in the room to where we wore socks most of the time to keep our feet clean.

Handy location, excellent reserved self parking.
Pros:

Not fancy, but very clean, and well appointed, with handy designated parking just outside the door. Front desk guy charged us $30 for early (3 hr) check-in when we arrived, which seemed a bit mercenary, ( but we paid,) since we hadnt reserved that option, and the room was "already cleaned and available."

Cons:

Not charging $30 for a room that was already cleaned and available.

Great place to stay! The perks are really good. Parking included. Wifi included. Hot tub, pool etc.
Pros:

The location was perfect. Fishermans warf was walking distance and so was downtown! The hotel has a really nice garden and a pool and hot tub that is locked up using your key card. Overall very well especially for the price.

Cons:

The only downside was that you can slightly hear the custodians working on the second floor. Other than that the place is great.
