- "Everything!" - "Everything" - "Very nice and helpful staff. Large, quiet, well-appointed room and our terrace has an excellent view. Had a wonderful dinner at their main dining room and the dinner at the bistro is adequate. Our room is in a building not directly attached to the main building which is a bit awkward particularly, we have to walk through the bistro dining/breakfast area in order to get to the front desk. The location is over 1 mile from downtown and there is not much around the hotel. But it is along the waterfront promenade which we enjoy walking along."
