This was great overnight quick trip experience. Seemed as if we were put in an outdated room and they were doing renovations in the hotel. I’d stay again for the affordability but perhaps a newly renovated room that was cleaned a bit more.

Nice location. Some inconvenience.

The room was lovely . Great view of the harbor. Breakfast was painfully slow. A buffet would be much better. Parking is very inconvenient. You have to schlep luggage a long way. It’s ridiculous to have to use a key card to exit the garage. The barrier should just lift automatically when you leave.

The property was under renovation and for most of our stay there was only one working elevator that at one point stopped working. Our room was so dusty and at one time wehad to call the front desk to have our room cleaned when we came back from along day out so imagine coming in at 8pm and having to leave right back out because your room wasn't cleaned.They never refilled any of the coffee supplies in the room the four days we were there either. The best part were the shuttle bus drivers they were so nice it's a same because I will not recommend this establishment to my friends.

A restaurant and other areas of the hotel are being renovated and will be even nicer once complete. Staff were very friendly and helpful - we were offered a free shuttle ride to a bike rental place when we found out their bike rentals weren't available yet and they offered to pick us up at the end as well, if needed. The pool was a nice respite and the beds were very comfortable.
