Room service was great. Was a piece of trash under a dresser and a small stain on robe but everything else was spotless. Furniture had minimal wear and room was bright and spacious. Their ATM was not working but staff were lively and nice to talk with. Area around hotel was a bit isolated but very close to downtown, giving it a convenient location while serving as a quiet respite on my vacation. Waterfront pathways and seating were nice for a walk at dawn and dusk. Pillows were high quality. Bathroom lighting and fixtures were easy to use and convenient.
