The hotel is an older property but very well maintained. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great. The rooms were a bit hot with no ac, but in our room, we were able to open the window all the way, so our room stayed comfortably cool. The couple who we traveled with had a window that only opened a small amount at the top, so their room was a bit on the warm side. The hotel is an easy walk to the downtown Waterford sightseeing attractions, though I think we were kind of on the border of a more run down neighborhood. However I never felt unsafe at all. Parking in the public lot across the street was very reasonable once we learned to use the online parking app, and easy to access. I would recommend Dooley's as a good value for the money.
