Breakfast is available, perfect for those who sleep in after a late show.

Nightlife Options

Step out the door and you’re right in the mix—bars, lounges, and live music spots line The Wharf. Whether you’re looking for a nightcap or a second round of live tunes, the neighborhood delivers. On quieter nights, the hotel’s own bar serves up a relaxed vibe and craft cocktails.

What People Say

Guests rave about the modern design, clean rooms, and friendly staff. The location is a standout—perfect for exploring the city and catching shows. Reviewers also love the scenic rooftop views and say the hotel is a peaceful place to return to after a busy night.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that rooms can be on the smaller side, and parking isn’t included in the room rate. Also, while the vibe is relaxed, it’s not a party hotel—so those looking for high-energy nightlife on-site may prefer other options.
