I couldn't have asked for a better location for this hotel, right on the waterfront and so close to downtown. The rooms had a cozy rustic feel with a fireplace, and having an iPad in the room was a nice modern touch. The service was outstanding, and housekeeping did a great job with cleanliness. The dining experience was fantastic, especially with the vegan pizza option. The facilities were top-notch with everything I needed. The only downside was the slightly higher price, but it was definitely worth it for the value I received.
