Room service was great. Was a piece of trash under a dresser and a small stain on robe but everything else was spotless. Furniture had minimal wear and room was bright and spacious. Their ATM was not working but staff were lively and nice to talk with. Area around hotel was a bit isolated but very close to downtown, giving it a convenient location while serving as a quiet respite on my vacation. Waterfront pathways and seating were nice for a walk at dawn and dusk. Pillows were high quality. Bathroom lighting and fixtures were easy to use and convenient.

Great place to stay while visiting son at Western. The bathroom is nice…shower had good pressure and a ledge for shaving legs, in addition to jetted tub. Had a lighted magnifying mirror…love those extra touches geared towards us ladies. Could not figure how to cast my phone to smart TV but that’s just probably user error. Parking in safe garage, several dining options are nice. Easy drive to WWU. Pretty view of marina. Good service. Clean. Comfy bed.
