The night maintenance man really tried to help everyone who had problems with their rooms.
I expect to check in and out of the same hotel I am staying at. We had to check in at one different location and check out at another different location.

Location
Checking in we had to walk next door to another hotel-odd. Curtain rod to shower needs tightened, carpet was stained and old, the main building wasn't heated very good . Couldn't use the coffee machine,

Really close to everything. Beds were comfortable.
Hotel is dated and needs updating. Bed size is a double which is not alot of room for 2 adults. No breakfast. TV was small. Had to mess with the cable box to get it to work. Cobwebs visible in the room.

The beds were very comfortable, the TV was good. Typical hotel amenities were available.
When are these hotels going g to get with the program and offer more than 2 plugs in the entire room? This is 2023 and had to spread my electronics all over the room to get everything plugged in, some didn't work. It was a good thing I was alone, there was nowhere else to plug anything else in. I had to unplug a lamp to get enough. I was traveling for business so I had a lot to plug in.

The person whom I assume was the only one working on a very busy night was running the desk, phones, and room calls all at once. She did a hell of a job. Beds & pillows were ok.
Trash on the floor in the room. Large spider web full of dead bugs in the corner of the room. No batteries in TV remote, front desk super employee (sincerely) gave us batteries...remote wasn't synced to TV. Refrigerator didn't work. "Room with a lake view" gave a view of the lake from across a street & parking lot and over another hotel. Window looking at said lake was completely covered in webs and hundreds of dead bugs/ dozens of spiders.

I liked that we actually had reservations at the Bayside, after two signs on doors of other hotels, the Hamilton was where we checked in and told we could stay at if we wanted. We wanted to stay where there was staff.
That I found the door locked and a sign saying go to the hotel next door to check in, then at the next hotel there was a sign saying go to the hotel down the road to check in.

Location, friendly staff, and it’s ok for a cheap night stay, if you can get it at a good price. It was also quite quiet during the sleeping hours, which is a plus.
The TV didn’t really work, so I didn’t bother much. the room is quite outdated but still comfy enough to sleep.

Be sure not to accept a room across from the elevator or stairwell. The stairwell door opens loudly and closes even louder. People came and went all the time.

It was clean. Safe location. Not very close to much. Not a place you can walk around to stores/food. Not accessible to water/beach/trails. Basic place that is clean to rest and sleep.
Out of the way from everything.
6.0
Love the proximity to Starline Ferrys. Love how many ice machines they have. Those are very convenient.
Beds were terribly uncomfortable. Hotel is very outdated. Pools looked like they hadn't been cleaned for decades. Discolored bottoms and sides.
Not serving breakfast on property as advertised. Instead they give coupons to a near restaurant.
