"The Dean was a great spot to stay. Really convenient to the city parking (which they validate for a cheaper rate), downtown shops/restaurants, and the ferry. The room was very clean and comfortable. We didn’t have time to check out the pool or gym, but they looked awesome"

"Room was large and clean. Location was a little outside of center city, but the bus stop was right there and the cabs were not badly priced. Construction was going on which caused a little noise in the morning but overall I thought it was a nice place and a good price."
