Nice view
The hotel itself is lovely and the staff are very welcoming. The view from the rooftop is pretty amazing. The drinks are quite overpriced, but that is to be expected for the area. Everything at the wharf comes with a markup. The beds are quite firm and there are no exhaust fans in the bathroom, which can make it a little uncomfortable with 2 adults and 2 children trying to get ready for the day. The valet option, should you choose to use it, needs a bit of a refresher on communication. 4 times we requested our vehicle and every time they tried to charge me as if we were checking out. I do not think that should be a deterrent from staying at the hotel, just wanted to make people aware of our experience.

Perfect Location
Beautiful, upscale hotel right on the wharf. Definitely pay for the valet parking with your room, because there’s nowhere to park besides parking decks and it’s just worth it. The only thing I missed was a breakfast restaurant, all of the choices for places to go in the hotel and nearby are very specialized. Upscale restaurants, and nowhere to just get some bacon and eggs except room service. That’s not really a complaint, though, the hotel was beautiful, the room was spacious, and the bathtub was the icing on the cake! After we checked out, we walked on the wharf and had lunch at Hells Kitchen and walked back and got the car out of valet. It was a perfect day.

Great stay
We had an amazing stay! Checkin was great. We were able to get in to our room early and they even gave the kids stuffies. Room was very large and clean. We walked to the mall but there is a free shuttle that picks up on the corner.
