Everything was 5 stars. Rooftop bar was lovely. This hotel was on the harbor and we did need to drive downtown but it was a 5 minute drive so no big deal. The hotel was undergoing dining room renovation but the kitchen was still open and provided room service and also to the rooftop bar. Can’t say enough good things about this hotel!
