Although the location was extremely convenient to the marina, this hotel is in the heart of the downtown district which means the area has frequent homeless and drug users. The parking is within a fenced compound, yet access appears to be open to the street. I am unaware of the security measures in place for this. The room itself was fine, and what one would expect for the price. As long as your expectations are not high, this hotel is what it is advertised for. Would I stay here again? Not likely, but I was not sorry that I did. We arrived late in the evening and we were gone early, so this hotel worked for us.
