The rooms were beautiful and clean. My kids loved the pool. It is conveniently located near the gorgeous waterfront. In the park across the street, we noticed several individuals experiencing homelessness; however, we did not feel unsafe. It was also inconvenient that the front desk and lobby were not open 24 hours a day.

Pubic hair in b bed

We checked into the hotel and went up to our room and went to get into bed and there was hair in the sheets under the sheets on the mattress cover on the down comforter there was no customer service at the front desk after 10 o’clock last night we were not allowed to have any water or ice. My husband asked and they said they’re closed. The manager told us today that the hotel lobby should’ve been open till 2 AM and that it was unacceptable. We couldn’t reach anybody from the hotel until 7 o’clock this morning so I spent the night sitting in a chair in my hotel room, and my husband laid on top of towels.

The room was ok, kinda like a Motel 6 but it was very hard to sleep because you could hear everything around you, doors slamming , people walking above you , probably not a well sound insulated building, I don't think I would stay there again.

The room was fine, however only 1 drawer and limited closet, so couldn’t unpack. Also, no towel bars for drying towels. They only do room service every other day. Great parking, nice breakfast. Very nice people. Great walking distance to the wharf , beach and restaurants. We didn't use the pool. It was a 3 star hotel so met expectations.
