Walkable. Lovely waterfront trails and Ferry access. Pool area was a fog of chlorine! I coughed for 30 min after leaving the poor area. Ventilation issue? Was looking forward to a swim. Room smelt like stale smoke. Maybe carpet fresh would help. Paying for parking is shocking after hotel price!

The staff did not know the hours of operation for the dinning room and was not open when they said it would be. They spent more time making fun of my last name and generally showing off their grade 5 mentality. Not very good ambassadors for a very nice hotel room very comfortable with a very good view.
