🏨 Studio 9 Hotel Review: Quirky Charm at a reasonable rate I genuinely like this hotel. It’s got charm, friendly vibes, and a great location—but it’s not for the picky guest. If you’re the type who can roll with a few quirks, you’ll likely enjoy it. 🛏️ Atmosphere & Rooms • The building is older, but it’s clean and well-kept. • Rooms are small, bathrooms are small. (No room for dancing to your favorite song.) • Electrical switches are the old push-button style—nostalgic and they still work just fine. • Staff are warm, welcoming, and super helpful throughout the stay. 🧗‍♂️ Room Locations & Stair Notes • Third-floor rooms require tackling steep stairs, but the views from up top are fantastic. • King-size beds are located on the second and third floors only; ground floor rooms are limited to Queen size beds. ⚠️ Accessibility Overview • Upper floor rooms are not wheelchair accessible, and the steep staircases may be challenging for some guests. • The hotel sits at the end of Crescent Ave, up a steep 30% grade hill from the main street—about 110 feet uphill.• After a long day sightseeing, the hike back feels intense. • If you’re older or carrying luggage, you may want to hire a ride from the ferry terminal landing area. • Older guests may want a main level room. • Competitive hotels not on a hill cost roughly $100 more per night. 🚿 Bathroom Details • Our bathroom was very small.• No sink, just a small narrow shower with a curtain, and an undersized toilet that might

The property was within walking distance of the ferry terminal. The cottage was small but perfect as a home base since we were exploring shops, restaurants and the beach.

It is a hotel that is on the lower end in terms of prices so you get what you pay. We got the cottage for three people and the bedrooms were small but a decent size for just a night. Restroom connected the rooms together but the doors didn’t have locks which was a bit weird. Restroom is small as well, we could literally sit at the toilet and wash our hands at the same time. We liked how the hotel locks the front doors after a certain time; made us feel more safe as the cottage is on the side of the hotel and outside. Besides that, it’s an outdated hotel with very nice staff! I can’t remember her name but she was an older lady with red hair and she was incredibly helpful!

Okay hotel

Its an okay hotel to stay within your budget. Unfortunately the t.v didnt work and the front desk had lied and said the next day they were going to be up and running but that was a lie. The heater in the other room from the cottage also didnt work wish i would of known i have a 1 year old and my poor son ended up getting a cold the next morning. Employees were really nice i really appreciated that though.my issue is more of them not specifying these things and being honest. My room also had a hole and the door stopper was broken off.

Spiders are crawling in the room. One spider even end up at my wife’s shoulder. No hot water during our stay. They promised to refund me. First they said are going to do it tomorrow then after more than 2 weeks later they only refunded me 20%. After I called them , they said they are going to do it in 20 minutes. They never did. Right now they don’t even answer the phone. I am contacting Expedia for this terrible experience with this junk hotel. They shouldn’t open at all until they get everything take care of. No hot water, broken windows, and big spiders come out everywhere. It is really scary if. Local officials should check it out to make sure this hotel meet the basic standards. Expedia should ban this hotel.

I know that the hotel is old, but make an effort to get the room and the linens clean (cobwebs) and maintain the condition of the toilet and sink. The staff is friendly though.
