Housekeeping was cut back to every other day, including towels and bed makeup, which was inconvenient. Desk staff and location great. Room was somewhat strangely laid out but plenty roomy for a longer stay. Nice view to the harbor. Breakfast handy but limited help-yourself selection. Parking next door with free in and out very useful in parking constrained area.

The staff was terrific. Unfortunately, the room smelled like cigarette/pot smoke. We booked a two bedroom suite and one bedroom was fine while the other reeked of smoke smell. We checked in late in the evening so I just dealt with it the first night, but first thing in the morning, I talked to the front desk about it. They sent up an ozone machine for the day while we were out and that seemed to work ok for the room, but the bathroom still smelled horribly! So, if you are sensitive to smoke smell, don't stay here.
