This was a great hotel to stay at as we could walk on the Esplanade and also walk to restaurants easily. There was also a beautiful view from our room. It was very hot for the 2 nights we stayed and I don’t think the ventilation was working very well. There was no thermostat and the air conditioning did not seem to cool the room down. Not great when the windows don’t open. Other than the temperature of the room, we enjoyed this hotel.

Amazing stay, only suggestion we had as a group is maybe closing the pool to kids the last hour for adult who want some quiet time in the hot tub. The parking lot and stairs need to be fixed desperately. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The room was clean and spacious. We didn’t bring a bottle opener and called front desk for one but they only brought one up long enough to open one bottle of beer which was pointless. Seemed kinda silly that you wouldn’t have those available to return the next morning at check out. Despite the above, our stay was wonderful.

From the front desk staff to the housekeeping staff to the restaurant staff were all nice and easy to talk to. Very respectful. Probably the best hotel staff I've come across in all my travel.

I did not like that teens and kids were running around the hotel all hours of the night. Both nights I was unable to sleep, people were partying in the room next to us at 4am, 5am. So much for “quiet hours”. I had a terrible stay because of this.
