Beautiful hotel - due to increment weather no one was out there but the 3rd day the fire pits were on and my husband and I sat out and enjoyed the view, the stairs to go down and explore was roped off. The only restaurant that was open at that time, service was slow and the food was not that great. Overall, I would stay here again, walking distance to the Wharf and popular monuments.
