The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Wonderful Gym Experience

The fitness center was spacious and had a good variety of equipment. It was a bit busy during the mornings, but I managed to get a good workout in without feeling cramped. I loved that there was enough ventilation and natural light, making it a pleasant environment to exercise.

Amazing Poolside Service

The pool area was fantastic! We enjoyed sitting by the pool and indulging in delicious drinks and snacks. The service was attentive with staff bringing food right to our lounge chairs. It was such a relaxing experience, especially with our kids having fun on the slide.

Comfortable Rooms with Great Views

Our room was beautifully renovated and had a stunning view of the bay. I loved the modern touches and the fact that we could stream our favorite shows on Netflix. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making for peaceful nights after busy days exploring.

Fun for Kids!

My kids had an absolute blast at the hotel! The pool area was almost like a private resort, and they loved the water slide. It's a big plus when traveling with family to have a place that keeps the kids entertained, and they were able to enjoy this almost every day of our stay.

8.8/10

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel, especially the breathtaking views and the very clean, comfortable rooms. The location is prime, being just a short walking distance to various dining and shopping options. However, I faced some issues with parking and found the breakfast a bit on the pricey side, despite the great service. Overall, it was a lovely experience, but improvements in certain areas could make it even better.

8.8/10

This hotel boasts a fantastic location right next to the convention center and is just a short walk from attractions like Seaport Village and the Gaslamp Quarter. My room was spacious and comfortable, offering beautiful views of the bay. The service was outstanding, especially from Brogan at the front desk, who made check-in effortless. However, the gym access was limited as it doesn't open until the spa does, which was a bit inconvenient. Also, while the breakfast options were decent, the self-parking fee felt a bit steep at $35 per day.

My experience at the hotel was quite disappointing. While the location has great potential, the service and attention to detail were severely lacking, leaving me feeling undervalued as a guest.
