What our guests says about facilities

Hotel has comfortable rooms, premium services, and a prime downtown location

Luxurious Suite

I recently stayed in a harbor view suite, and it was a truly opulent experience. The large sitting area provided ample space to relax, and the bed was incredibly comfortable, making it difficult to get up in the mornings. It was a good escape for our anniversary celebration.

Fantastic Pool Area

During my visit, I thoroughly enjoyed the indoor pool and hot tub facilities. The warm water was inviting, and the hot tub was the perfect place to unwind after a busy day exploring. It was a refreshing way to relax and recharge.

Delicious Room Service

I ordered room service for breakfast, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. The eggs benedict were flavorful and expertly prepared, making it a good way to start my day without having to leave my room.

Impressive Concierge

The concierge service exceeded my expectations. They assisted with dinner reservations and even provided a list of great local restaurants. Their attention to detail and personal touches, like the chocolate-covered strawberries for my anniversary, made my stay special.

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback from previous guests about their experience.

Gary

United States, November 2024

7.2/10

My stay had its ups and downs. The room boasted a fantastic view, but the service was inconsistent at times. While some staff were lovely and accommodating, I faced challenges with room service which was less than ideal for a hotel positioning itself as luxury. The location was great for exploring the area, but the dining experience left more to be desired, especially in regard to the limited availability of room service.

Rooms

8.0

The room was spacious with amazing views, although it felt a little dated and could have used some updates.

Service

7.0

While some staff went above and beyond, I encountered varying levels of helpfulness which made my experience a bit uneven.

Location

9.0

The hotel is ideally located, just a short walk to many attractions, making it easy to explore.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience was somewhat disappointing, especially with the limited room service options and high prices.
