Guest Reviews & Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, overlooking the river, were spacious but lacked a cozy setup, with only one chair and the desk chair. The view of the USS North Carolina was a plus, but the cleanliness of the rooms left something to be desired.
My stay at the hotel was mixed. The rooms were not as inviting as expected, but I was upgraded to a suite which was spacious and comfortable. The service was exceptional, exceeding my expectations. The location was perfect for exploring the area, but the dining options were a bit underwhelming.
When we first opened the door, the view of the river was simply amazing, but unfortunately, the rooms were not clean as we expected. The hotel is ideally located to explore the bustling downtown area with its myriad of restaurants, coffee shops, and shopping options, though walking around the construction area was a bit off-putting.
