Property was very dated. Balcony door would lock but could be pushed open. Could also hear everything going on in the room next to us.

Property is well located within Old Town, pool was nice on a sunny day. Beds were comfy. Needs a little updating, rooms were dark and the lobby was messy chaos at breakfast. If breakfast ended at 9:30, they took plates away at 9:28 even if you happened to be cooking a waffle and grabbing some bacon for your child at the time. Kids were eating right out of the lobby popcorn machine. It is a decent hotel for Old Town but would recommend skipping the free breakfast or getting there first thing in the morning.

The property is very nice. It is in a neighborhood of tripping hazards on almost every sidewalk. The staff was somewhat professional but our 5am wakeup call came at 3:40am instead. Didn't try the breakfast. Had to catch a flight before it was served.
