What to expect: The hotel's room inventory lists Room, Bay View at 385 sq. ft. with choices of 1 King Bed or 2 Double Beds and occupancy for up to 4 guests. If a balcony or direct bay sightline matters, request a Bay View when you book.
- Square footage listed: 385 sq. ft.

7. Where not to cut corners: read about fees and access before you book
Important considerations: The hotel charges a mandatory daily resort fee; the resort fee description in the dossier lists inclusions such as pool access, fitness center use, in-room bottled water and bike rentals. Parking (self and valet) is not included and carries a separate daily charge.
How that affects room selection: If you compare rates, remember the nightly room rate excludes the resort fee and parking charges. Larger suites will carry higher nightly rates on top of these mandatory fees; confirm any additional charges (pet fees, parking) before finalizing a reservation.
- Resort fee is charged daily; inclusions listed in the dossier include amenities like pool and fitness access and premium internet
- Self-parking and valet parking are charged separately (rates vary by source)
- Pet fees apply for dogs (hotel policy lists fees and weight/number limits)
| Fee | What dossier says |
|---|---|
| Resort fee | Daily; covers pool access, fitness center use, premium internet, bike rentals and other amenities |
| Parking | Self and valet available for an additional daily fee |
| Pets | Up to two dogs per room allowed; fees and weight limits apply |
