The room was nice and spacious. Rooms were cleaned and restocked each day. I loved the central location with so many great things in walking distance. It was a quick walk to The Wharf for dinner options and a quick walk to many tourist spots. There is also a stop for the hop on, hop off bus right near the hotel
