The hotel has cozy rooms beautifully decorated in a beachy style but can be noisy. The service was exceptional, although the pool was disappointingly small. The location is perfect for exploring downtown and the bayfront, offering a lovely design but limited outdoor seating. The dining was delicious, albeit with some menu items unavailable. Overall, a comfortable stay with great service and dining but with some noise and limited pool amenities.
