Bayview Tower
Room was great. Basic but clean. Great views. Breakfast great. Property was advertised as having parking but there was very very limited parking on site so we had to park on street. Street was steep so taking luggage in and out was a challenge.

Realized at check-in that we had the wrong room booked. Easily upgraded at a reasonable price. Washer and dryer worked well. Staff very friendly and helpful. Small deck great for morning coffee. Located on the river with a nice walking path.
