A Warehouse District hotel offering on-time port shuttles, cruise packages, and ample breakfast seating.
The verdict
Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.
Located in a renovated building in the Warehouse District, this hotel serves as a convenient base for cruisers and convention attendees. Guests praise the on-time shuttle service to the port, ample breakfast seating, and spacious bathroom counters. However, complaints center on terrible pillows that sink directly to the mattress, dated rooms, and shallow in-room safes that cannot easily fit laptops. 1754
