Nothing special.
Our room was no different than any lower end hotel or motel. It was fine for one night but I wouldn't wanted to have stayed longer.
Note we were not in a larger water front room and don't know what they are like.

An old fashioned hotel.
We got a room in very dated condition. There were many steps leading to the room. The only thing I liked was the towel warmer…don’t see this stuff in other hotels. It is okay for one night as a transit stay.
Hotel lobby was nice.
