Chateau Victoria Hotel and Suites
We stayed no balcony unit. It was terrible view and noise from the laundry room right beside us. We changed the room but there was completely street and parking lot view. Neighbours were not good also. I recommend to book at Inner harbour area hotel .

Hotel Rialto
Such a pretty hotel! However my only feedback would be if a room is on the main street the windows desperately need to be replaced. They are so think i thought several times our windows were open. Made for a tough night of sleep. I would come back if not for that.
