This is a great hotel away from the hustle and bustle and the usual cast of characters found in Union Square or the Wharf. The gym is well equipped with multiple benches, weight rack, and a cable machine. The grab-and-go cafe and restaurant on site are great, though we found the breakfast buffet a bit pricey for the selection of food available, but filling nonetheless.

I liked the size of the parking garage. There were plenty of parking spaces to choose. I think the price of parking could improve. Overall with everything else, I thought services and room were great!

Pretty View

The property overall was worth the value of my dollar. The hotel offers a decent and convenient menu for breakfast and dinner but nothing more than basic. The pool was underwhelming and the gym was smaller than the photos appeared. Overall, it was in a decent area and I liked my view. I stayed on the 11th floor overlooking the water and skyline. I was pleased. Travel Tip: If you plan on having visitors, just understand that your guest can’t access the upper floors without a keycard or concierge. That was a major buzzkill.
