The location was convenient for my activities but had some issues with parking and interactions with locals. The dining experience was enjoyable, with good food and service, while the facilities were satisfactory.

I stayed at this hotel and had a mix of experiences. The room was beautifully appointed with an extremely comfortable king bed but the constant noise from the HVAC unit was really bothersome. The partial view of the waterfront was a nice touch though. The service was very friendly and welcoming, with good overall service provided by the staff. The location was central to many good restaurants and attractions, but the presence of transients openly using drug paraphernalia was concerning. The dining experience at Minnows was excellent and reasonably priced but the blaring music in the dining area was a bit much. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
