We did not have a great experience. The fire alarms went off several times during the night. The room was musty smelling. My parents room electric door lock broke and it took several hours to get in to retry their luggage for a cruise. Not a great experience

Good for the price.

The hotel was clean. Check in was very easy. The beds are very comfortable. However, the air did not get very cool making it uncomfortable at night. Also the fire alarm went off multiple times all through the night. The location is very good. You can walk to great restaurants and good shopping.

Not a Fabulous Start

The front desk people seemed unsure as to what they were doing. Finally we were checked in ( the confusion on their part had to do with that I was checking in to two rooms), and we had to roam around a bit bc they’d not mentioned that only a specific elevator could be accessed.
