The lobby, hallways, room, restaurants and bathrooms all looked clean and smelled clean. I didn't smell anything; neither cleaning chemicals nor cover-up smells. The room was quiet. The hotel is classically old but the carpet, bed, furnishings and paint were all new. Although some hotels put a fresh layer of paint over the old crappy paint, the updates here have been done with some class, pride and professionalism.
The layout is a bit quirky, but the alcoves and tasteful memorabilia are well placed. The views of the bay at breakfast time are great.
Downtown restaurants and bars are within walking distance, and there's a walking trail across the street.
