Nice property but best to enjoy under better weather conditions. Didn’t like that the restaurants closed early for a Sat night. Nice view from balcony, entrance to parking garage was a little confusing but overall the front desk staff made it a great stay.

Overpriced for Very Little

The stay was not what was expected nor advertised. The ambience on the first floor (check-in) was lovely, but the room was similar to other 2 -3-star rating hotels. The price paid was not validated by the type of room we were placed in. The tv barely worked and showed only a tiny blurry picture (seemed as though the cable was bootleg). Could not watch a decent show at all. We purposely paid for a room with a waterfront view. The chairs on the balcony were flipped over as if a strong wind turned them over. The chairs were filthy dirty. The night receptionist was nice but lacked knowledge regarding typical questions asked regarding specials and dining rewards we were supposed to have. She gave us towels that had either nail or lipstick stains (red) on them. The room did not smell fresh (stale). Be aware that the walls are paper thin, and your complete conversation can be easily heard from the hallway. The phone in the room looks like an old cheap retro phone. Note: there is not enough handicap parking at all! Overall reminded me of a Hotel 6.
