We loved the pool and hot tub. I appreciate the fridge, keurig, and night light. Breakfast was good. You’ll pay $40 for valet parking (only parking they have) and breakfast is extra. Would stay here again.

First time staying there and first time using valet parking. Sam was a great valet attendant - super friendly. Check-in was easy. Hotel was nice and clean. I did find the menu at the restaurant a bit limited for supper and the server not the friendliest. Quick walk to Merrill Auditorium.

In the heart of everything

Nice hotel right in the heart of the waterfront action. Walkable to shops, dining, ferry, etc. Valet parking is the only parking available but it is fast and you don’t need your car for this area so it’s not inconvenient.
