The hotel went beyond my expectations. We have a six year old and she loved the room and stay. The location was great and the hotel was family friendly. We had a great time. The room was perfect. The pool was warm and very clean and we enjoyed our time. The breakfast was great as well and very convenient.

Yes, the location is good, the reception is friendly, and the rooms are clean—but that’s it. Parking is falsely advertised. The site says “valet parking optional,” implying self-parking exists. It does not. Valet is mandatory at $75 per night plus $25 every time you retrieve your car, easily reaching $150–$200 per day. This is forced valet, not optional. Breakfast was the worst part. What’s advertised as a buffet is not self-serve. Staff control portions, refuse seconds, and create an uncomfortable, almost humiliating atmosphere—especially for families. My child was denied extra bacon twice. That’s unacceptable at a $420/night hotel. Service also felt inconsistent, with noticeably better treatment given to some guests who speaks spanish, which left a very bad impression. Clean rooms and a good location do not excuse misleading parking and a restrictive, disrespectful dining experience. Families should think twice. I would not stay here again.

Great location, right by Seaport Village. The valet staff was extremely helpful but note that overnight parking is $70! The front desk staff was also great. Room was spacious with an anteroom separating the bedroom. The daily resort fee was returned as a food & beverage credit and guest also had access to a 1-hour stand up paddle offsite. The daily breakfast and evening hour was decent.
