Five star accommodations!

The location of this hotel is perfect with great restaurants, shopping nearby, and a quick walk to the pier, as well. Starbucks right next door for an easy morning pick me up. Very comfortable accommodations and hotel staff is friendly and helpful. Loved the valet service, too!
