Our stay was seemless. Easy check in, parking nearby, room clean and quiet even while being near the elevator. Breakfast was tasty and the server was very pleasant. Love the location. Close to the Port Theatre and good restaurants. A lovely waterfront walk the next morning. A repeat visit would be anticipated!
