The staff were very friendly and the area was ideal. Set in the heart of downtown, nearly everything was within walking distance, and the train station was less than a ten minute drive away. The path along the water was a huge selling feature for us. We enjoyed a daytime walk to the park with our youngest, and an evening romantic stroll as well. Breakfast was free and included. Parking was additional at $15/day which we didn't realize, but not a huge deal. Would go back again.

They refused to clean our room on Sunday because it was Thanksgiving weekend. We had to take our dirty towels out and ask the front desk to bring clean ones. We only received two bath towels. No hand towels or face clothes. We very disappointed when we saw cleaning staff on our floor later that day

Our room had 2 queen beds, and one of them was literally broken. We spoke to the front desk manager, and she merely offered to give us a refund on our parking fee.
