Good location for exploring the shops, bars & restaurants along State Street, and an easy if lengthy walk to the beach, wharf, sealife aquarium etc. Friendly & efficient welcome, well stocked bar with good wines & local beers, great service, superb restaurant (Finch & Fork - worth booking).

This is a beautiful hotel, both inside and out and the rooftop/rooftop pool are quite nice. However, neither the rooms nor the service fit the extremely high prices. Amenities are noting special and it's ridiculous that there is no coffee/tea service in the room (who wants to go to the lobby early for coffee/tea even if free). Rooms can be cold… Read more
This is a beautiful hotel, both inside and out and the rooftop/rooftop pool are quite nice. However, neither the rooms nor the service fit the extremely high prices. Amenities are noting special and it's ridiculous that there is no coffee/tea service in the room (who wants to go to the lobby early for coffee/tea even if free). Rooms can be cold and drafty, too. I can see being here if you have a special group event like a wedding, but otherwise I would consider other places. Read less

Rooms are well appointed and the bed was amazing. West facing rooms above floor 4 have peek ocean views. Guest access to gym next door. Dog friendly. But best of all - the staff are super nice and efficient. Will be back. Read less

Tristen was very helpful in giving us local info of places and events. Great to have such helpful staff here that provide a clean safe environment. Parking via valet seems the best option and the rooms are very clean, the noise level is not too high either
