Pleasant but lacking in promised ammenities
Pros:

The location..excellent..the restaurant at hotel ….breakfast was terrible….our room was clean..bathroom was clean and very nice…view in room was great..headboard was in rough shape on king bed..bed however was comfy..sheets and towels were lovely..

Cons:

The head board could be changed as it was really in rough shape..the couch in room was stained.we had no pool or hot tub during our stay..we both have arthritis and one thing we had counted on was soaking in the hot tub at end of busy days…nothing was offered to us to compensate…it was extremely disappointing.

Amazing Hotel, Amazing Team, Amazing Birthday
Pros:

What an incredible team at this hotel! Everyone was exceptionally kind and welcoming throughout our four-day stay while we celebrated my birthday. I’ve had great experiences with Marriott before, but this was truly the best one yet.

A special thank you to Reilly at the front desk—he was outstanding, and we’re so grateful for his kindness and professionalism. Abigail also took wonderful care of our room, always making sure everything was perfect. We also appreciated the friendliness and attention from Jeff, Alex, Amish, and everyone else we had the pleasure of interacting with.

From the front desk to the restaurant team, the level of service was consistently excellent. Every interaction made us feel valued and at home. Thank you all for making our stay so memorable!

très agréable séjour
Pros:

Hôtel très bien situé, parking facilement accessible.
Vous êtes proches de nombreux restaurants, de musées et de la promenade sur le port.

Cons:

Au lieu de gobelets en carton emballés dans des sachets plastique, des tasses seraient plus écologique
