As a traveler of over 150 nights a year, I stay in a lot of hotels. among the many, have been a fair mixing of sheratons across the country (Atlanta, Tampa, Cedar Rapids, Chicago, Minneapolis). NEVER before have I stayed at a Sheraton so glamorous, perfectly detailed and well thought out!
Let's get a couple negatives out of the way first:
-Front desk is understaffed and slow! Phones sometimes aren't answered promptly.
-Over-priced breakfast restaurant. (although cheaper Starbucks is in hotel too!)
-Would love to see mini-fridges included in rooms, as the expensive mini-bar is a big turn-off to everybody who isn't still living in the 1980's!
-$22.00 a day to SELF-park! Ouch, folks. C'mon!
There, that's the bad staff. Now, just a smattering of the numerous great elements of this facility:
-Excellently furnished health club, with ping-pong tables outside.
-Starbucks in the lobby!
-Love the complimentary computers in the stylish lobby "nook" area.
-Fun sports bar that seemed to be hopping at night.
-UTTERLY FANTASTIC POOL AREA!! Beautiful fountains, and a pool that is one of the largest free form pools I've ever seen (and I've stayed at 4 resorts in Hawaii!) Also a hot tub that literally could seat 20 people comfortably!
-Grounds are well-manicured, with rocking chairs strategically placed to view the adjacent marina-yacht club and relax.
-Balconies in all rooms are perfect for viewing the yacht club on one side of hotel, or downtown skyline on the other (can't go wrong with either view)
-Rooms are comfortable with flat-screen tv's and nautical colors and decor in deep blue, burnt orange, and white.
-Gorgeous lobby with wonderful mood lighting and an aquarium about the size of 2 French doors put together!
All in all, can't say enough good about this place. Simply loved it and would not only welcome a chance to return, but would go out of my way to make it happen!!
