"Staff was friendly. Room was dated but kept clean. Some spiders and ants seen in the room. A faint smell of cigarettes. Great location.2 miles to the wharf. Under a mile to the mission but the walk in an uphill. Free parking. Natural lighting was limited due to window type. The pool was clean and about 8ft."
