Unexpectedly found The Docent's Collection on my trip wanting to spend an extra night. I was generously accommodated before my 4 pm check in time as I was already in the area. It is a beautiful loft style apartment/room that is spacious and very clean. Also within walking distance of a lot of the places I wanted to visit. I loved it so much and I would definitely be back soon.

We had an excellent stay. The hotel was beautifully appointed with premium furniture, high-end appliances, and thoughtful finishes throughout that made it feel more like a luxury residence than a typical hotel. The location was incredibly convenient, with easy access to some of the area’s best restaurants, shops, and marinas.
