8/10 Good
"The room was very clean and comfortable and one of the better places I've stayed recently. The location is great in Old Town. The restaurant is horrible. It smells like something died in there and made me gag. The outdoor patio isn't much better with an obscured view of the water. So overall, I'm a fan but management has got to fix the stench restaurant/bar."
