Good stay

Great space - large room for two, albeit with limited available parking at the hotel. However, free parking was available nearby, and the person at the desk was very helpful.

It's a beautiful place, but if you don't want to hear music and live bands until 11 PM each night, ask for a room on the south side of the lobby towards the harbor and avoid the north side towards Water's Edge Restaurant ( although that is a great place to eat)!

Pros: Beautiful location, very convenient to waterfront, walking, shops, restaurants. Great parking. Room was large and comfortable. Cons: We were there for 5 nights. No one ever came in to clean the room. Our trash was overflowing and we had to find someone to take it. The included breakfast was severely lacking, except for the coffee. There was some refrigerated yogurt and boxes of cold cereal, microswavable oatmeal, and energy bars. Premade frozen sandwiches to microwave, which tasted terrible. No fresh rolls or bread, spreads, fresh fruit or a toaster.
