The staff were very friendly and helpful. The front desk and valet staff were great! The location is perfect for easily walking around Old Port area. It is great that this is also a pet friendly hotel.
Wish a bigger continental breakfast included rather than just a coffee bar. Was just in Spokane at Airport Hilton and included breakfast was amazing.
That said we had a fire across the street, power outage for a bit, and the staff was wonderful and accommodating!
We will be back to stay more often soon!
This was the second time I stayed with this hotel. Room was cleaned, free coffee ,tea , hot apple cider in the evening and a bag of welcome gift . Highly recommended this hotel.
Great location and walkable to excellent dining and shops. Gritty's has awesome beers on tap and live music from local artists. The indoor pool and laundry facilities on site was a nice perk.
