Liked: Staff & service
Clean and convenient, but facilities could be improved to further enhance the stay experience. AC is conditioning well but loud. Mattress should fixed to prevent rolling off from the bed. Breakfast space is limited. They should provide some trays for carrying the food to the room, which could be more helpful than the receptions who spent all time smiling to their screens.

Perfect Hotel

Everything about this hotel was so well done! The beds and linens were very comfortable and they provided plenty of pillows. We appreciated that the twin pull out bed was already made inside and my son said it was the most comfortable of that type of bed that he has slept on. The room decor and updated remodel was well done. The location was perfect for us - within walking distance to the Amtrak, Moxi, harbor, and promenade. We will be back!

The room was a bit small but nicely appointed. The pillows were too thick so had to sleep flat. Despite these everything else was great! Great location.
