Nice hotel, good location, front counter staff was great but the management sucks. Stayed at this hotel a few times but won’t anymore. I had checked into a room for a like 2 hours and had to check out as my wife went into labour. I contacted the property to see if I could get maybe a partial refund, room was almost $350 or a small credit to stay again. Was brushed off, told the cancellation policy applies.

Loved this hotel but had to change rooms after the first night because my harbor-view room on the 2nd floor was right above the dumpsters. One ai chained to a different room on the 3rd floor, my stay was much quieter and better!
