Pleasant View and Location
Enjoyed a comfortable stay with stunning water views. Our room was well-appointed, making it easy to relax. The hotel's nearby restaurants offered great dining options. Just remember to check meal voucher requirements for breakfast, it caught us off guard! Overall, a lovely stay but some areas need transparency.

A stay with sparkling views
Waking up to the sunrise glistening over the water made each morning special. The staff were friendly and made my stay enjoyable—especially the delicious breakfast!
Unfortunately, the air conditioning struggled to keep the room cool, making some nights uncomfortable. The elevator was quite a trek, which made carrying bags a chore.

The stay was enjoyable as we visited the Children's Museum of Virginia with our kids. The view from our room was absolutely stunning, overlooking the water. The staff, especially Shawn from the restaurant, provided excellent service during breakfast, making it a memorable experience for our family. The location was great with easy access to nearby attractions, although the hotel was undergoing renovations, which led to some inconveniences. Overall, we would consider returning, especially for the view and friendly service.

Perfect base to explore The National Maritime Center and catch a AAA Tides Baseball game. The courtyard with fire pits was super chill, and the breakfast was on point. Just a heads up, check-in can be slow, so time your arrival. Overall, a solid spot for a fun getaway!
We faced a frustrating check-in delay. After arriving just before 4:30 PM, we waited over an hour to get our room key, which really cut into our evening plans.

the indoor swimming pool added a refreshing touch to my experience, but just know that parking is valet-only, which can be a bit inconvenient for some guests.
