This is an older hotel, but in good condition. The hotel is clean and comfortable, the staff is friendly. It's right next to the aquarium and very walkable to the downtown area. Breakfast items are limited.

Great stay!!

The hotel is in such a great location! The staff is friendly. There’s also a breakfast served in the morning with pastries, yogurt, coffee, oatmeal, etc. The hotel is a little dated and could use some refurbishment but overall excellent stay. Also got to see some awesome bears walking in the river below our balcony.
