The Good
Guests generally had a good experience at this hotel, and much of this could be attributed to good customer service and clean rooms.

Staff were excellent, according to guests. Several guests mentioned staff members by name, praising their personal, professional service. Guests said that staff here were proactive in making sure that guests were satisfied and their needs met.

Despite this hotel's age and dated decor, guests seemed to think that rooms were very comfortable and inviting and attributed that to a high level of detailed cleaning. 

Guests liked this hotel's waterfront location, and said that the proximity to the water meant good views and a serene atmosphere. Guests also felt that this hotel was within reasonable distance from Main St. and Memorial Drive downtown (within a 10-minute drive) and their shops and restaurants.

Guests were pleased with the quality and the selection of food offered at the free continental breakfast.

The Bad
Most of the reviews used for this analysis were positive, but guests did have a few common complaints, mostly centring the air conditioning/heating units.

A few guests complained about loud and ineffective heating/air conditioning units. A couple of guests said that they rattled and caused excessive noise in the rooms. A few guests had difficulty regulating the temperature in their rooms (both for heating and cooling). 

This hotel was older, according to some guests who felt that the decor was dated and in need of updating.

Some guests felt that this hotel was overpriced and expected more amenities for the price they paid. 

There were a few additional complaints about slow elevators and about weak water pressure in the showers.
