We were looking for a location where we could park our vehicle ourselves, driving a large truck and didn’t want to use valet. Staff was very helpful, great location, the evening shuttle driver was great. Beautiful area, so much to do.

The hotel was having some renovations done and was down to 1 elevator which didn’t interfere with any part of my stay. Clean room, easy parking, walkable to the Old Port. They offer a shuttle to use if you don’t want to walk a few blocks.
