The hotel's location is nice and quiet, just a short ride to the historic district, overlooking the marina. The rooms, although spacious with a waterfront side view, fell short with old stale odors and neglected maintenance. The service was exceptional, especially by the shuttle drivers who went above and beyond. The dining experience with French products was extremely satisfying. The pool and lovely terrace overlooking the marina added to the beauty of the waterfront setting.

The hotel offers a convenient location with beautiful views of the river but lacks nearby attractions to explore on foot. The rooms, although needing some cleaning improvements, were adequately cool and manageable. The service was helpful and cordial, going out of their way to assist, though some staff members seemed less enthusiastic. The dining options were overpriced, with limited choices for breakfast. Overall, the property provides a mixed experience with room for improvement.

The hotel room wasn't big or nice as I pictured, which sadly ruined my Valentine's Day. It just wasn't worth my money, and I won't be going back. On the bright side, the room was great, clean, overlooked the lot, which was exactly what we wanted, but it was right next to the lobby and elevator.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was spacious, comfortable, and clean, but it wasn't quite what I expected, which was a bit disappointing and impacted my Valentine's Day plans. The king bed was nice, but the sofa sleeper made the space feel tight, limiting our movement in the room except to the bathroom. I may not choose to return in the future.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of ups and downs. The rooms were not as large or nice as I expected and it unfortunately put a damper on my Valentine's Day, but at least they were clean and somewhat comfortable. On the bright side, the view from my room was pretty, especially overlooking the marina. However, I did notice a mildew smell, which was a bit off-putting. The service, on the other hand, was exceptional. The staff went out of their way to accommodate our transportation needs, and the personal touch of chatting with each guest made me feel well taken care of. The dining experience was a bit on the pricey side but the dishes were delicious and healthy. The facilities were decent overall, providing the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay.
