Pier Blue for Two

It was a decent, reasonably-priced room. Room + lobby smelled slightly of cigarette smoke. Perhaps an air cleaner or deodorizer would help to clear the old, stale air odor.

The room was fine, although the a/c unit was a bit loud. I think it might be on its way out -- may need to be replaced. We stayed 2 nights. Our first night was a bit rough as other guests around us were a bit loud and there was a dog barking a lot. Car doors were slamming and people were very noisy going up and down the stairs to the upper floors. The stairs were close to our room. Our second night was a lot quieter and nicer. We would consider staying again if we need to come to that area.

We arrived and found that there were only outlets on one side of the bed. I had to go out and purchase an extension cord in order to plug in our CPAP machines. There was a white substance on the walls of the shower. We had a family emergency and had to leave a day early and they refused to refund the unused night. We’ve never been very satisfied with past stays and this clinched it. Given the number of fife and drum events that occur in the area, we will be sure and let others know about this.

Good value compared to other places available. Came for a weekend wedding. Room was clean. Very dates in terms of decor. Bed was decently comfortable. Water pressure in shower was great. Not enough plugs in room, for example the frig, blow dryer, microwave and coffee pot all competed for a 2 plug outlet

The owner, VJ, and man at the lobby desk, Rick, were very friendly and helpful. Rick was able to locate scissors and a corkscrew for me to borrow. The property is a former Days Inn and is in need of renovation. The room we had was in need of new paint, bathroom fixtures, and furniture. It all looked to be from the 1970’s. Worn but clean. I posted an earlier “checkin” rating and was accosted by an employee in the lobby, asking if something was wrong with the room? I told him, “No,” I said it was “ok.” He asked, did you write a review? I said, Yes,” and said the room was “ok,” I’m appalled an employee would approach a guest and ask about a review. Very intrusive and unacceptable. Will never stay there again.

Very affordable quality stay

Spacious, super clean, and functional suites. The staff is super diligent and friendly. The property is kept very well, there is an ample back yard with tables and benches, dog potty supplies. This area is super cozy and lit up at night. The bed and linens were SUPER nice and comfortable. There is very good lighting in the room all over and the A/C worked perfectly. We are so happy we decided to stay here.

Needs Updating.

Hotel is a very tired one (ie door key had to redone three times in one day; toilet had constant water dribble that couldn’t be stopped; bathtub was very stained; bed sheets seemed cheap as they made us sweet terribly while sleeping). although manager was friendly and helpful.
