I stayed one night prior to a cruise. The location provided excellent water views. Nearby dining options were also excellent. I found the converted wharf building interesting. The bathroom was fabulous, and the breakfast was delicious.

I noticed only a slight inconvenience. The pre-check-in process did not save time upon arrival. I still completed all check-in steps in person.
