Parking was a disaster. Could not get my digital key to open the garage or get myself on the elevator. The elevator would not pick us up attempted the stairs could not get onto any floors called the front desk no one answered. Ended up running down into the garage 1 catching the elevator and riding it until it finally allowed us to stop on our floor. Horrible experience.

Friendly and helpful front desk staff. They stored our luggage for us since our flight got in early. Area around the hotel was safe to walk even at night. Room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was adequate. It’s about an easy 2 block walk to the cruise ship pier. It is being renovated currently, but did not affect us at all. No noise or debris. We enjoyed our stay.

The rooms and everything where fairly nice and freshly renovated, the hotel was under construction still which was okay. But the biggest down fall was the street rooms we had where very very loud because of the train crossing would ding every 10mnts and the train would honk a very loud horn

We arrived to a hotel that was under construction and looked abandoned and neglected inside due to all the work going on! At night we could hear every noise and alarm from the next door room as well as all the outside noises from the train, planes, fire engines right next door, and boats in the bay. Definitely not an ideal stay, but staff was very nice. Continental breakfast was also boxes of cereal and make it yourself waffles.
