Checked in here and the hotel if wonderful! The staff are attentive and friendly. The hotel shape (think horse shoe) affords lots of rooms with views of th harbour and the gave us one. I'm only a Silver so I certainly wouldn't have expected it. A similar status at Hilton wouldn't have received the room we're in.
The hotel is situation at one end of the boardwalk and its very nice to stroll about and not that far at all from the famous Maritime Museum. Actually, the hotel is perfectly situated near most everything downtown.
The Westin is at the other end of the boardwalk and not on the water. Certainly the Marriott is the better choice for those who have more then one program.
