"First, I don't look for fancy in a hotel room. Instead, it's about convenience, location and the service, and this place has all three in spades. The best aspect about staying here was Ameil at the front desk (BTW, he has a college degree in hospitality). Nearly every morning I would get a cup of coffee (local from SB Roasting Company!) and an apple (not gross red delicious but honey crisp), and sometimes a pastry (also local from up north), and I would chat with Amil about all kinds of topics....

"It's certainly not worth the price to be honest. Yes, it's a great location, no doubt about that, but it's a Motel 6. There is absolutely nothing more than what any other Motel 6 offers.Though the rooms do have a cool vintage feel.... Still doesn't make it worth the price. I was a little taken back by the front desk dude when I asked him to break a $5 bill so I could get a soda from the vending machine and he said he didn't have change... So I asked if the vending machine gives change and he...

"The location is excellent and the second floor patio has a great view. This old hotel has some beautiful details like tile floors and nice tile work in the bathroom. However, it’s clear they are relying on the location to sell the place and not bothering much with upkeep and service. Check-in was frustrating. We checked in on-line as requested, including giving a digital copy of a driver’s license which seemed like an invasion of privacy. When we arrived to actually check after dark (a few...
