the fitness center was kind of a joke. it had a treadmill, but it looked like it belonged in a museum, not a hotel. also, the parking situation was weird. i waited way longer than i should have for someone to open the garage. no sign of automated systems there.

he changed my room and gave me a corner room. i also appreciated that he handled some disorderly guests well and diffused the situation quickly. the location was good, near many attractions.
the gym was poorly equipped, and i noticed it was unattended. it needs some upgrades to meet the needs of guests who want a good workout.

I found the staff helpful! A team member even escorted me to an ATM across the street, great for safety. Breakfast was excellent with so many choices. I enjoyed the eggs made to order, they were amazing. The location is central, and I accessed the waterfront easily.
It was hard to know if they were going up or down, which caused some confusion.
