This is an amazing hotel with great staff. We got a corner city view room and let me say it did not disappoint. You could see the city but the best was at night. No transportation, no problem. The trolley stops by the hotel and will take you close to pier 1. You can catch the bus to pier 39. Transit system is great. The hotel is clean and the staff is amazing. Ask Enrique at the bar to make you a scobby snack drink! Breakfast has a lot of options. We will stay here again!

The hotel was clean, the staff friendly. The location was good to get around to local tourist attractions. A great coffee ahop just around the corner and other places to dine within walking distant. The local bus transit was a couple block either direction. I was disappointed that they stuck us in a room right by the elevators, so we had the noise of that and our room was exceptionally small. They weren't full, I'm sure they had other rooms available.
