I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were in really good condition, equipped with a sleeper sofa and a variety of amenities, including a comfortable King bed. The service was top-notch with excellent customer service and convenient dry cleaning services. The location was ideal, situated near restaurants and shopping areas, close to the cruise ship terminal, in a nice downtown neighborhood surrounded by stores and restaurants. The dining experience was fabulous, especially the smoked meat offerings. The facilities were superb, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
