I booked a family suite with 2 separate bedrooms and a kitchen. When I checked in they gave me a key to my room. When we went into the room, it was not the 2 bedroom suite. So I went down to speak to the host who told me that the family suite was booked for 5 nights and it’s the only one they have. Plus, they were sold out for that night. He told me he didn’t know why Expedia allowed me to book that room.

The elevator is not working and from reading other reviews it has been out of service for some time. Bed was hard, so I didn't sleep well. Family room was nice and spacious, but due to the uncomfortable bed, I will not be returning. Breakfast was simple, could use some more protein options, as the only protein was hard boiled eggs.

Good trip.

Super-comfortable beds and linens made for great sleeping. Location is great - a few blocks uphill from the water/restaurants/shops. Breakfast was above average for breakfast-included hotels. Waffles, oatmeal, hard-boiled eggs and an assortment of breads and fruit. Wish there had been hot coffee available before 7:30 am.

Dog trip.

My stay here was an amazing experience. No staff or customers were loud or disrespectful. The breakfast was decent. The breakfast lady was extremely respectful and looked forward to seeing her during breakfast. I bought dogs with me to a pet friendly room, I didn’t expect to have long curtains that touches the ground. All dog owners knows that’s a disaster waiting to happen. The shower curtains are cotton so it causes a big water mess in the restroom. The water clogger to the stink was stuck so I pulled it outso it can drain and it was disgustingly dirty. Overall I did enjoy my stay. Great covered parking as well.
