Guests say
Guests expressed significant dissatisfaction regarding cleanliness, with multiple reviews highlighting that the hotel was outdated and dirty, particularly mentioning uncleaned trash and a persistent unpleasant smell. However, there were positive remarks about the location being decent and the hotel's amenities, which some guests appreciated, including music connectivity options and a well-weathered charm post-renovation.

Pros (+) Brand new renovation! Formerly the Opal Hotel. Maintained old world charm. This hotel far exceeded expectations. Nicely appointed. Felt like a European hotel.

Pros (+) Leaving the next morning
Cons (-) It was outdated, old, and dirty. The comforter looked like it hadn't been washed in years. There was a banana peel with a gnat flying around it left in the trash can that never got cleaned out before we checked it. I slept fully clothed. I could very easily see this hotel and the room have a rodent/bug problem. I would NEVER stay here again, even if I was being paid to.

Pros (+) The Opal is an older building with beautiful architecture and charm. To get into the lobby you have to be a guest, using your room key to unlock the front doors. I was so much more relaxed within the hotel with this added security. It is in an excellent location to good food and sight seeing and if driving, is easy to get to from 101 and they also have a private, gated parking garage! We will defi...
Cons (-) Would recommend curved shower rods to give a little extra room. Because of being an older building the electrical outlets are minimal and had to do some rotation of electrical devices.
