Guests find it a practical base for their adventures with the waterfront, shopping venues and Sunset Park—the perfect spot for watching the sunset—close by.

Several reviews highlighted the breakfast as a bonus with descriptions like great, excellent and even fantastic being used to describe the experience. Guests appreciated the hot breakfast options, such as eggs, toast and sausages and praised the ability to make waffles topped with maple syrup. The inclusion of a free breakfast was often seen as a perk with some noting the breakfast was good and met expectations for an included meal.
However, the breakfast did have its drawbacks. Some guests felt the food options were limited and complained about the breakfast being cold or not replenished promptly. Comments about the small size of the breakfast area and minimal options for a continental breakfast were also common.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the usual breakfast service was replaced with a bagged to-go option, which many guests found lacking. Reviews mentioned the bagged breakfast as being quite basic, often consisting of items like a small muffin, granola bar, yogurt and a bottle of water, which some found disappointing.
Despite these criticisms, several guests found the breakfast to be satisfactory or adequate with a few noting that it was better than they expected.
