Americas Cup Inn

Americas Cup Inn

8/10 Good
"Location is in a great spot… Parking worked out well across the street and was very reasonably priced at $20 for 24 hours. The drawbacks were there was no elevator and to lug bags up four stories was a little tough. If you are older or have any mobility issues, not a great place, but try to book the first floor. It’s an old Inn so rooms are very small, but the location makes up for it because most of your time you probably won’t be in the room. Bed was very comfortable. Floors in the bedroom were carpeted - I prefer hardwood for sanitary/cleanliness reasons. Complementary breakfast and tea is a nice touch. Overall, I give it 3 1/2 to 4 stars."
