The city is very expensive to eat out.

“Well Located & Modern”

This hotel is very well located. It is within the Old Port neighborhood and across the street from the water.

This hotel is very well located. It is within the Old Port neighborhood and across the street from the water. It is down at the end of the touristy area, which means that it is much quieter and easier to get to than the hotels closer to the core. Even so, it is less than a 10 minute walk to restaurants such as Luke's Lobster, so it is still very central. The hotel is very modern and clean, and our room was huge. I love that it had a mini fridge and a massive shower. Another amenity I appreciated is the mini-market off the lobby where guests could purchase snacks 24/7. We stayed in two different rooms, one at the start, and one at the end of the trip. The initial room was a standard King Room, which looked directly onto the condo complex next door. We thus ended up keeping our shades closed the entire time, resulting in a room that felt a little dark. The second room was a King Room with a Water View, and this room was amazing! The windows were a little smaller, but we had a fantastic panoramic view of the water from our top-floor room. Also speaking of the rooms, the rooms in this hotel do not have a door between the bathroom and bedroom. There is only a dividing wall that doesn't go all the way to the ceiling, with the bed on one side and the sink on the other. Thus, the light and sound from the bathroom seep into the bedroom if one person is still trying to sleep. Not ideal. Also, I feel like not having a rooftop bar at this hotel is a missed opportunity, considering the several other hotels nearby that have them. Lastly, parking onsite is expensive and limited (but they were able to recommend a less expensive lot 2 blocks away).
