This property has changed so much over the last few years. We have been visiting the Suites for years. We really enjoyed staying here. This was an old dock from an old warehouse. There use to be pictures of the warehouse and and lots of ships pictures in each rooms. Now they have flowers and stupid pictures every where. They have taken down all of the old pictures. They now have soap dispensers in the bathroom for shampoo conditioner and body wash. Very drying crap. Bring your own stuff. If you want to eat in your room. Bring your own silverware. That’s missing as well. Each room use to have extra bedding like blankets. Not anymore. Bring your own. Parking is outrageous. You have to park in their lot across the street. We will not be staying there anymore. Totally disappointed in a hotel that used to be a “Home away from Home”
