The staff was welcoming and accommodating. The breakfast buffet provided a large array of tempting choices. The gym was well equipped but featured loud music making the facility unpleasant to use. The location couldn't be better for exploring dining, shopping and sightseeing options.

Terrific location and central to Old Port
Terrific location and loved our view of the water and cruise ships. We had booked the day before as we were arriving at 2am. Despite a 1am text saying our room was ready (we preconformed online our arrival time) there was no one at reception. A manager went searching in lieu of checking us in himself. I saw him come out of the women's rr and then shortly a woman showed up who was clearly not a happy camper. (Assuming he opened the door and called in to find her.) She presented as rather short and rude; we asked about where some things were and she very vaguely gestured. Didn't let us know where elevators were. No dialog really. We found out near end of stay that there was coffee and breakfast available on first floor. I am sure it was an anomaly. We also had one interaction where we saw a cleaning person who insisted on cleaning room despite us saying we were leaving in a few minutes. She then straightened the sheets but did not provide clean sheets and replenished towels. No sweeping or other cleaning appeared to have been done during our stay. Despite these moments we would certainly stay here again and try to get the same view room on the six floor.

Perfection. Mind you, I was not paying $600/night in summertime. But for under $300 off-season, it was a great deal. Gorgeous hotel. We were just in and out for a jazz concert, but the breakfast and the bar looked great. $25/24hr parking right across the street at the ferry landing. (Or $40 for valet, or free on street after 6pm).

The room design is strange either bathroom mirror in a strange position. - bad lighting - shower leaked into the toilet area because the showers door does not close and the shower head is aimed toward the edge of the shower door! Looks like everything is designed to have square lines instead of functional- location good free coffee but $18 for all or nothing breakfast

I reserved a King room but there were none left when we got there. There was no room service or restaurant in this upscale hotel. That was a big disappointment. When I made the reservation I paid extra to include valet parking and breakfast. They still charged us. I asked about it and they rebated the valet but not the breakfast. Won't be going back there are plenty of other places that are better.
