We loved the view of the capitol and the harbor from the top floor room. The AC was out and the room was near 100 degrees both days in spite of everything we could do, so we did not sleep until well past midnight each night when it cooled down enough to be comfortable.

Good location is only real plus. Hotel is in extreme neglect, to the point it was actually comical. A/C broken, bathtub cracked and peeling, faucet dripping, cobwebs in the light fixtures, bedspread torn, swimming pool abandoned…for example.

We checked in on one of the hot summer day and the checkin staff offered us refund because they dont have AC working in rooms. The condition of the property is really poor however the staff has done their best. We just went to target and bought ourselves few fans just to be able to sit in the room. Not sure about sleeping yet.

On checking in the front desk said there was no air-conditioning in the rooms. They should’ve been noted on the website that there was an issue. Would’ve booked a different hotel had I known before arriving on site.
