Hotel was very nice and in a decent part of town, the staff was amazing, they were very attentive and friendly. The room was clean and had an amazing view of the bay. Valet was very quick and always gentle with my vehicle. Not a far walking distance from the bay and walking distance to the USS Midway. Would definitely come back again!

This is the first time I stayed at this hotel and it was a great experience. The front desk staff was friendly and allowed me to check in early. The room was nice and spacious. The housekeeping staff were very friendly as was the restaurant staff. The hotel is located walking distance from Little Italy and a trolley station, and the bay is two blocks away. I am definitely staying here again.
