Im upset that I made this reservation a long time ago, called the service desk and they kept trying to transfer me to someone else instead of helping me. Now that I have checked in I had reserved a water side view room, and because I am a Priority Club member, asked that I be accomodated in a high room... More

We stayed at this hotel to see if it would work if we decided to take a cruise next year. After reading other reviews, most of the negative comments were confirmed. We had a nice bay side view on the South Tower. Big complaint -there was no hot water ( not even enough to have anything but a cold shower).... More

Pro: The location. you are right across the street from the bay. If you don't like the food offered in the hotel there are two more restaurants just across the street and it is just a short walk to the USS Midway and Seaport Village. The trolley tour also has a ticket booth and stop just across the road. The... More

This hotel was very dated and dirty. We stayed in the third tower, very inconvienient. Parking was 22 a day-ridiculous. Our beds were uncomfortable, and the room was small with 2 queen beds. We had no hot water the first morning the mainternace people came and fixed it right away but it never really quite worked properly. The staff was... More

The only good thing about this hotel is the extremely convenient location directly opposite the cruise terminal. Stayed one night on 13th Jan 2012 The room was disappointing, the hotel dated and dreary the view was over the car park. That said it was clean enough and provided you aren't expecting too much then it did the job. More

We also stayed one night on Jan 13, 2012 before the ms Oosterdam. We took the hotel shuttle from the airport which runs every 1/2 hour (or so). Just make sure you are near the beginning of the line in order to get a seat. Check in was OK but there were only two agents on duty and with a... More

We stayed one night January 13 before boarding the Oosterdam. The ship was across the street. We carried our own luggage and walked onto the ship from the hotel. The hotel was not really lacking anything we needed, but it was very basic. Oddly, the closet is in the bathroom. OK for one night, but I'm sure we would have... More

We stayed for a weekend to see my son present at a conference at the Convention Center. The location of the hotel is very nice. It is so convenient to everything, and we loved the walk to Seaport Village. The front desk staff was extremely helpful in getting our rooms closely located to my son as he had arrived two... More
