Booked this hotel for one night before a cruise. Very clean and perfect for my stay. There is no elevator, however, the staff will assist with taking the luggage up and down. I booked a room on the first floor, but was placed on the second floor. Very kind and professional staff. Definitely recommend this hotel!

Loved this hotel. Very clean. Minimalistic look. Easy check in system. Front desk staff was always responsive. I only stayed one night because I had an early morning flight but definitely enjoyed my stay. 1 con is the walls are quite thin, you can hear people coming up the steps, phone conversations, the works. But they give earplugs.
Lounging area.
