8.2/10 Very Good! (1,702 reviews)
"This place is rather dated and needs several upgrades in the rooms. The sinks are very shallow, no vanity space at. Needs new paint. Staff is friendly and very welcoming. Overall good location close to River walk, battle ship, downtown shops, and the convention center."

"Very unusual facility is it a hotel, motel, bed and breakfast or none of the above. It's different but in a good way. No easy way to describe it except to say if it's convenient to where you want to be you'll be enjoying old world charm."
