Nice, clean, and in a great location.
Pros:

The Location was great. It is within walking distance of the cruise port, some great restaurants and shops. The design was warm and inviting. The staff were all super nice and helpful.

Cons:

The only complaint I have is the bed was very hard. It was way past firm and I am a fluffy lady that likes firm beds. The pillows were great though.

We loved the setup with quiet rooms in the Warehouse district. We loved the fire pit and pool area. We appreciated the space and full kitchen.

It will be nice when they update and remove carpet from rooms.

Pros:

I love the neighborhood it was located in. The surrounding bars were super personable , friendly and they had good drinks .

Cons:

The quiet hours weren't respected as much as they were posted and I wish the breakfast had more food options. As much as we paid there was no waffles or options to changed the eggs how they were cooked or any extra outside a regular hotel breakfast.

Pros:

Good location. Great staff and willing to help

Cons:

Anything else very average to poor.
Shower really bad with no water pressure at all and a bit smelly.
Breakfast terrible with only plastic platters and some scrambled eggs with bacon. Porridge was available too but way below my expectations overall. There’s no buffet.
