This property is listed as a VC Waterfront hotel. However, it is a 15-20 minute walk to the central VC Waterfront district. It's a nice walk, but the gate to the walkway closed at 8:00 pm so be mindful of this when venturing out. Breakfast was nice and convenient.

Great hotel, while a little away from waterfront, free ferry and hotel shuttle, both easy to use. Great breakfast and friendly, helpful staff. We had a corner room, facing lions head, lots of room which we loved. They did try to 'upgrade' us to a suite facing the dock but another customer behind us said don't do it, noisy through night and hard to then move from another room. Good tip from their bad experience for us all!!
