The front desk provided EXCELLENT advice about local attractions and restaurants. I checked in early, around 12:30. My room on the third floor offered a nice view of the harbor.

The complimentary breakfast included various proteins and breads and it was very tasty.
I did request a pack and play upon arrival. I then requested a second time via text message, but I had to ask for it again when I arrived. I wish the staff remembered my request.
