10/10 Excellent

"The front desk guy (with glasses can’t remember his name) was very nice and helpfu with his recommendations around the area and with my luggage. He was able to correct my room accommodation made through Expedia. The only thing I didn’t like was that our room was not clean by housekeeping. I was even asked at the front desk( and was even noted) if I want our room to be cleaned. The property location was excellent with a beautiful view of the harbor. Would stay here again."
