Room was clean but outdated furniture. Check in was easy. I had an issue with self parking as there was a Xmas party who took all the spaces. When i spoke to the front desk i was told first cone first serve. And i would have to pay for valet parking. It seened ridiculous since i was there for 5 days and the party was there for a few hours. My bill was finally adjusted however they charged valet parking to a friend who did not have a car. It took 3 calls for this to be credited. However we had a nice view of the water. Hotel is close to downtown and retaurants.
