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.

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.

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.
