I was a bit afraid with the reviews but also curious, so I had to check by myself. I loved that place. First I had a European room with share bathroom but decided to upgrade to a garden room. Yes, the carpet and curtains shows sign of wear, it's not perfect like a new Holiday Inn, but I felt like a princess in the gigantic bed.
The history and charm of the hotel was lovely. Right on the seafront with fabulous views and the room was clean with a fairly comfy bed.
Hotel in general needs updating but I gather there are plans for refurbishment next year.
Hotel had âclosed for constructionâ signs on outside doors. Room in awful shape (I took photos) but since it was late we stayed only the one night rather than 3 nights.
It appears the owners donât want to spend a dime on upkeep or for adequate maintenance or cleaning staff. What was once an interesting and unique property is now essentially a historic dump
For $250 Garden View King room I was dissapointed in the "garden view" of #310 it was a few small semi alive flowering plants with view of the street over walkway to upstairs rooms one with a large pup that moved around ALOT above me with its people.
I hope The Marriott will bring the magnificent Historical Hotel back to its top service with restaurant and Bar.
Bathroom fan did not work and a bedspread would have been nice.
The entire property smelled like skunk and it was very hot inside our room without a good way to cool down. Both these factors made it really difficult to sleep.
A 'garden view' was advertised, but it was a view of parking lot and dumpsters, and the room was not at the historic hotel. The room was dingy and run down
