"The view was great! We upgraded to the higher floor package and were on the top floor facing the bay. The hotel was convenient to everything we did and wanted to do. The room was a bit dated and worn and the price for parking was a little bit steep. Lizle was a FANTASTIC front desk host. She was warm and inviting from the start to finish of our stay.
