The property is super convenient to the Downtown location. The rooms are very spacious and clean. There is a lot of food places and a club down the street. Not disruptive at all. We parked on the street on the weekend, and it was completely free. Overall, was very nice stay!

The property was stated a harbor view which we paid extra for snd it was a pickaboo view between downtown buildings. The rooms are okay, they felt old but we only stayed one night which was fine.

Nice hotel with friendly front desk staff. Beds were comfortable and it was a weekend so there was plenty of street parking. Continental breakfast was limited but sufficient. My only negative would be the lack of soundproofing with the windows. It was almost as if the windows were open based on the amount of noise coming in. Thankfully at night the area around the hotel was pretty quiet.

Pretty average overall. I was told the AC would be fixed in my room, but it never was. Dealt with it. Was only really in the room to sleep anyway.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Room was on the smaller side. We went to restaurant and no one came to our table, only to find out they didn’t have waiters. Our reservation stayed the hotel had room service so we decided to go and order instead, to find out it was a misprint on our reservation and they do not have room service. Breakfast was lukewarm coffee and a bagel, a bit disappointed in the whole experience.

Everything was great except some other guest made some awful comments about me and my girlfriend I enjoyed my stay but because of how I was treated by those guests I probably won’t be back. The general manger was a delight and pleasure to meet.
