Executive Hotel Pacific
Overall my stay as good. Couple things, the bathroom is very small and the toilet is in a corner. If you are a tall or large person this place may not be for you.

The Paramount Hotel
The room was very clean, quiet, spacious. Great location and less expensive than the hotel across the street. One of two elevators was out of order. There is only complimentary coffee before 7 am. After that you have to pay at the expensive cafe.
