I cannot believe this hotel is listed as a 2-star! I have stayed at 4-stars that were not as clean! The rooms are VERY spacious and the balcony was an added plus. The walk to the boardwalk was very short and convenient. Overall GREAT stay!

I love this hotel, they were able to check us in early and it was close to a lot of local restaurants that had good food and it was about a 30 minute walk to the pier. The staff was also really friendly.

The staff was excellent. We checked in 25 minutes early. Room was beautiful, except it was next to the elevator shaft and we heard the noise upon entering the room. I immediately called, and they graciously placed us in another room far away from the elevator. The hotel is clean.Our room was immaculate, and we love the city view from the 10th floor. The bed was very comfortable and inside the hotel not a sound could be heard. There was city sounds bouncing up from the street, which really can't be helped. We were fine with it and enjoyed watching the street and the people below. Each room has a small refrigerator with a small freezer and a Keurig machine with coffee pods. They do provide hot coffee and a full breakfast that closed at 10am on Sunday. Sunday checkout at noon. We had promtional free parking. We were initially concerned about security, but they provide a scanable parking pass. A huge solid metal garage door zips up once it is scanned and allows you access to the garage. It then zips down behind you. You have full 24 hour access to your automobile at any time. Just park your car, go right to the elevators and hit the floor you need. You must have your hotel room key to acces your floor. Also an excellent security feature. $8.00 uber ride to the wharf and to chinatown, just about anywhere, you're centrally located. We will be back!
