The worst hotel I have ever experienced.
Pros:

Location only

Cons:

Hot tub was broken. Air conditioning was inadequate. Gaps in windows letting hot air and bugs into room. No blackout curtains so 5 AM sunrise beamed into room. Staff was unresponsive and so was manager.

Beautiful, Convenient but can't block out the sun
Pros:

This is a beautiful hotel in an historic building at Canal Park. Shops and the Aerial Bridge are just outside the door. Free parking available across the street. We had a 2 BR/2B room with plenty of space. The only drawbacks of the suite we had are 1. there was no way to close the curtains and sunrise woke us up early. 2. If you want to watch TV in the livingroom, the layout doesn't work as the sofa is perpendicular to the TV. If we had kids along, we'd have to rotate the furniture . There is a mini kitchen we didn't use this trip but would be great for a family trying to avoid eating out all the time.

Stay Away
Pros:

Our room was awful. One of the worst rooms I’ve ever stayed in. Everything about it is poor quality, run down, and has no character.

Meh
Pros:

I like the unique rooms/spaces. Breakfast and breakfast area. We had an internal room which meant no windows. The price should be lower for these rooms, it feels very cave like without a window. I like the full kitchen.

Cons:

We were asked/advised/told/it never was brought up that their parking lot was across the street and we ended paying for our parking. We had parked in the lot behind the building. Nothing was done even after I complained about this. I thought that was poor service.

The price was very high for less than desired amenities and room. Also, having to walk across the street from the parkin
Pros:

It was located in Canal Park

Cons:

There were stairs from the main street up to the lobby and main floor of the hotel. This made it so that luggage carts could not be loaded from the street and taken directly to the elevator. All of our luggage and belongings had to be carried up the stairs to the cart on the lobby level. This is not so good for seniors.
