Great place to stay in the downtown. Just a couple blocks to Little Italy, Short walk to the Marina. Starbucks right across the street and good restaurant in the hotel for a quick bkfst. Never waited more than 2 min for valet to bring the car around … and I mean 2 min! It was so easy!!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property and staff are nice. However I forgot my AirPods after checking out, called back and asked if the housekeeper found them or returned them to the lost and found and they told us to call back another day. Afterwards I pinned my AIRPODS and it showed them at the hotel 36 minutes ago, but after refreshing the page it showed them at an apartment complex. This was extremely disappointing, the staff should be more honest and turn in lost items to the lost in found that the hotel has provided. Having dishonest staff that take customers items instead of returning it reflect poorly on the company and I hope these types of incidences can be addressed and taken care of properly in the future.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was very beautiful! The staff were very nice and everything was clean. The only thing is there is no parking for the hotel that is free. You pay by the day, but have no in or out privileges, so if you leave your parking spot and someone else takes it then you can’t get it back unless you pay somewhere else. Overall, the experience was a 9/10.

Great front desk service. When a room repair needed to be made, Engineering Dept was there within 15 minutes. Front desk kept me apprised of repair status, which I appreciated.
