We are grateful for the upgrade at the desk, after hearing it was a 42 year anniversary. We thought the coffee maker was complicated, and rendered either espresso or Americano, neither of which we care for. A Keurig would have been more suitable. We have resolved to bring our own coffee maker in the future.

Nice waterfront location with great walking paths and many good, walkable dining options. Rooms are clean. In house dining is only mediocre and very high priced.
