The room was good, but the shower wasn't working in the morning when we got up to get ready for the day. I told the front desk person when we were checking out and he said they would look into it. It was just disappointing to not be able to get cleaned up before we left.

Room was clean but outdated furniture. Check in was easy. I had an issue with self parking as there was a Xmas party who took all the spaces. When i spoke to the front desk i was told first cone first serve. And i would have to pay for valet parking. It seened ridiculous since i was there for 5 days and the party was there for a few hours. My bill was finally adjusted however they charged valet parking to a friend who did not have a car. It took 3 calls for this to be credited. However we had a nice view of the water. Hotel is close to downtown and retaurants.
