Great stay for a girls weekend!
Girls weekend trip. Great location on the water, close to all downtown festivities. Wasn't able to enjoy the restaurant as they were renovating but they did off room service without the extra fee and had a nice roof top bar. Strongly recommend. Our room was fantastic; clean, comfortable with a great view.
