Hotel was fine overall. However, due to maintenance work, the entire hotel had no hot water. We were not advised of this before we checked in.

It was wonderful to be in the heart of the harbor area. We were very close to activities and restaurants. The staff was helpful and pleasant. The bed was not so good. Probably time to replace the mattresses.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Our experience was very mediocre for the price we paid for the room. -- Uncomfortable bedding, very scratchy. Outdated room and lighting. -- Touchy shower settings, frequently alternates between very hot and cold -- Ordered room service and the person who came to the room literally ran in and out, in such a hurry they forgot some of our food. -- Valet parking for $40/day which adds to cost. Would be more affordable to stay further away and pay for daily parking in the area -- No smart TV, no TV guide available. Have to scroll to a certain channel and wait like 5 min for it to cycle through. Would need to bring your own HDMI cable. Best Feature -- Very close to all the restaurants and shops, convenient. Personally would not stay here again or recommend to anyone unless location if really important to you.
