Staff is amazing, but had to ask for housekeeping to come after being skipped. Food was just okay. Nothing within walking distance, no courtesy shuttles to downtown.
Michelle, 3-night trip

Nice view of the water, parking under construction

Parking was limited and taped off,,, construction tape all along the front of the entrance made us hesitant about where to enter and park.

Service was amazing. Very clean. My bed was firmer than what I am accustomed to so didn’t sleep as well but my friends said they slept great.
april, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Unfortunately when we were there they were doing a massive remodeling project in the halls restaurant front desk pool area. It definitely affected our stay. We had a balcony room which cost more but we were happy with the view and the fact that it was in a more private area of the hotel.
Michael, 1-night trip

Under construction but accommodating
Michelle, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful spot but not as close to things as I had hoped. Would suggest having a car if staying here. Hotel lobby was being remodeled so was unable to enjoy the benefits of the hotel lobby, lounge and restaurant. Staff was very friendly. Hotel was very clean.
Kathleen, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely view

The hotel was very clean and the staff was very friendly. There was remodeling going on in the lobby which we didn’t know about. We had to find ways around the construction but it was fine. The view from our room was amazing!
Natalie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great price for location, quality of room, hotel. We enjoyed the lobby. Would come again.
Julia, 4-night trip

Great stay for a girls weekend!

Girls weekend trip. Great location on the water, close to all downtown festivities. Wasn't able to enjoy the restaurant as they were renovating but they did off room service without the extra fee and had a nice roof top bar. Strongly recommend. Our room was fantastic; clean, comfortable with a great view.
