Overall Quality
Pros +
- Nice rooms, though ours faced a busy highway but overall nice rooms. Everyone is very accommodating from check in to coffee shop.
- Location and staff
- The staff from checking to check out was amazing. Room with a view of bay was fantastic. I highly recommend this hotel !!
Cons -
- Hidden fees which we weren¿t informed about. $40 a day for wine and cheese happy hour happy which we never used because we weren¿t told about it.
- 1 restaurant and very small footprint. The valet /check in line is horrendous¿.single lane u turn so if someone checks in & has a ton of luggage you are stuck. Reason for not recommending is purely due to lack of amenities (i.e. bar, grounds to walk)
- Nothing hotel was perfect!
