Staff was friendly and welcoming. Loved the roof garden to sit and read. Room was clean and comfortable. The only downside was that I am a very light sleeper and the noise from the neighbor's air conditioner, which ran all night long, kept me awake. Continental breakfast in the morning was good in that there was a nice selection of items.

The hotel and staff were great. It was a little older but the room was clean and well kept. The only downside for us was the neighborhood. It’s fun to be downtown, close to the wharf-the only downside was the rundown area where the hotel is.
