Great spot for water view...Paul's Pasta next door in an institution and the area has charm if you ignore some of the run down, vacant and blighted buildings. Staff is very nice and friendly.

Bad neighborhood, sketchy people alll around. I think people actually live there as well. No closet, limited lights and had weird yellow bulbs. At night you could barely see in the place. We left to find another place to stay.
