"The location of this hotel is top tier. We could see the park from our room which was nice. Room is pretty good. No real complaints. Wish there was a better market, the one on-site looked like a dollar- general from the 90s."

"Checked in pretty late into the evening, but surprisingly got a nice room upgrade from the front desk staff. Lovely view of the water/Queen Mary. The room was spacious and clean. My favorite part of the room had to be the balcony. We had to spend some time enjoying the view before bed. King bed was the cherry on top. Would love to enjoy a staycation here again!!!"
