Great staff! Super welcoming, friendly, helpful and patient. We used the valet parking and it was quick and convenient. Downtown, so there's lots of choices for eating and 2.5 blocks from the wharf! The only downside was that none of the watercoolers around the property had water during our 3 days there.
