Convenient location right near downtown old port which is easily walkable as well as a free shuttle for the area. The best price for parking on site as well in the old port area. We love the ocean views and comfortable beds.

I chose to stay here based on a number of recommendations on line. However I would say it was just ok. The location was relatively good for most things we wanted to see. I was not prepared for the area to be depressed and the immediate surrounding area not very appealing. The lobby was nothing much - the images on their website painted a different picture. The rooms were adequate and clean. Wide range of staff from very friendly to rude.
