Room set up for only one person (towels, coffee service, etc). Hotel provides parking as indicated in booking, but is 3 blocks away from the hotel. Hotel does not have a restaurant as advertised. Skipped the free breakfast buffet for a full service restaurant.

Lovely hotel in an old building. Perfect location a few blocks from the waterfront. Staff were super nice and even allowed us to store our bikes inside the ballroom. Would absolutely stay there again.
