Aside from good view of the harbor, we found this hotel as way overpriced and overrated. 1) hot water is at best on and off ...had to take quick cold showers a few times 2) very limited food options...over priced restaurant stops serving bkfst at 11:00 am and the cafe is limited to coffee and pastries and closes early pm. nearest starbucks is 1 or 2 miles away. At prices this hotel charges, one expects 24x7 access to fruits, snacks, tea, coffee, soda, etc... 3) sheet was stained 4) sofa bed back had issues and wouldnt recline all the way 5) the toilet flush was broken 6) internet access is spotty 7) the self parking costs too much pushing everyone to do valet 8) At roughly 1600 per night (not including resort fees and valet pkg) , this place is 4x the value it delivers Net - Nice location and nice view of harbor but pretty much everything else is at best one star. Way way overpriced for what it delivers.

The air conditioning in my room was broken! My room was 85 degrees and when I asked for someone to come help me they called saying they were working on it but never came and it never got fixed! They only took off $40.00 1 day of self parking in which the lot was completely full and had to park on street til a space later that evening opened up! They were nice but did not solve any of the issues and never followed up about my very hot room!!!
