Lovely Hotel and Will Be Back
This is a great Hotel for our 3 night stay. We had a Ground Floor King Room with Sofa Bed. The Hotel accommodated our Non Stairs request. The staff were friendly. The room was spacious and very clean, with a private view to the bay. We would certainly use this Hotel again. The only issues were that the room has no microwave, make heating up an order in meal difficult, unless we walked to the Lobby. There was no complimentary breakfast at the associated restaurant, but there should have been a discount for guests. There was also no prepared coffee or tea in the Lobby other then the morning. Aside, all went well, we were happy. We had no room service during the three days, but we realized after that we had to put out the tag on our door. We were not told about that at check-in. Our garbage was getting full.

Walkable. Lovely waterfront trails and Ferry access. Pool area was a fog of chlorine! I coughed for 30 min after leaving the poor area. Ventilation issue? Was looking forward to a swim. Room smelt like stale smoke. Maybe carpet fresh would help. Paying for parking is shocking after hotel price!
