8.8Very good
Patrick, Oct 2019

Pros. The room, bed and linens were very comfortable.

Cons. Only issue was there was a bunch of preteen boys staying in the same hall. They were very loud and rambunctious. The hotel wasnt full when we were there it might have been nice to have been given a room away from them.

Pros. The beds were awesome and the room was very clean. A very good location at the waterfront. The staff was very accommodating.

Cons. The elevator noise was irritating. We thought at first it was the heater but later found out it was the clang of the elevator. The breakfast was fair but the burger we had the night before was great. No other complaints.
