Front house staff was awesome. Only stayed one night, but it was enough to bring me back. Usually stay the London house. We stayed her bc it was last minute and London House didn’t have any queen double for the that day.
Jessica, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay!

Overall a great trip for a last minute booking😅 the hotel view was AMAZING! We were right on the water! The place is smaller than some other hotels, but for a little overnight get away it was perfect. It was quiet, and easy to get to. The water bottles are also a nice pro with the property! The only con we had was trying to leave on the elevator at checkout…was a little extra crowded but if you plan ahead you will be okay (or take the stairs).
