This new hotel has a very comfortable and clever layout with lots of conveniences. The breakfast area is really nice and has lots of charging stations. Everybody working at the hotel was wearing a smile and offering a greeting. An exciting value, too.

Marie at the front desk was very accommodating. Josie, our mini-schnauzer was greeted warmly by all hotel staff and several guests. Our King room was attractive and practical. Plenty of 110 and USB charging ports. I wish I had been able to cast my iPad video to the 40” inch screen on the wall. I had a very good experience at the bar/lounge. The garlic and honey glazed salmon was perfect. It was a generous portion served over brown rice with two baby Bok Choy. The fish arrived hot in a hot bowl. The Pinot Grigio was tasty as was the apple strudel accompanied by vanilla ice cream. The bartender and server were friendly without being intrusive. The pet exercise area is a little sparse. We would not hesitate to stay at this excellent hotel again!

This is a first rate property with friendly, welcoming, staff in a location with acres of quiet and protected grounds for exercising your pet. There is a casual dining area around the lobby bar and your pet can lounge at your feet at a nearby table where the staff will gladly serve you. The dinner menu is not extensive but there is enough variety that anybody should be able to find something which appeals. I had the grilled salmon which was delicious and my wife had a tasty version of shrimp and grits. After a long day on the road this was a relaxing choice.

The hotel is very attractive and has a high end look and feel in the public spaces as well as the rooms. We really appreciated the spacious bathroom, with tub. Furnishings are attractive and in very good condition. The room did not have that hotel smell which is common, especially in warm and humid Florida. Behind the hotel there is a small ranch house with two horses in a small corral. Josie didn’t quite know what to make of them. I patted their dog noses and the nickered. We highly recommend the Ocala Hilton.

Our first visit to this hotel was very pleasant. We usually stay at the Brice or the East Bay Inn, but both were really expensive this time. I suspect that our arrival on 2/15, a Saturday, meant Valentines pricing. Indigo was very nice but I would rate it a notch or two below the Brice and East Bay. The room offered a spectacular view of BIG cargo ships sailing up to the port. Some of them had containers stacked higher than the seventh floor of the hotel whose ground floor was probably 40’ above the surface of the river.

There is a casual seating area near the bar where you can bring your dog and be served food. The staff there was very friendly and nice. After a very nice gourmet meal at Circa 1785 the night before, we opted for a more casual supper in this convenient spot. The food was very tasty. I should mention that opposite the front door of Indigo, there is a fun Japanese spot Yatai Ramen and Yakitori. They expertly packed the delicious lunch items I brought in to eat in our room at Indigo. Highly recommend it!

The Indigo was very full and the parking valets were super busy trying to accommodate many folks leaving between 10 and 11 on Monday morning. Though they ran to and from the garage there was still a ~20 minute wait for a car. The valets were very helpful with unloading and loading our many pieces of luggage and the large crate Josie travels in.

The check-in process was fast and easy. The room was nice but small and with limited closets and drawers. In room coffee maker was convenient although the packets did not include de-caf. The microwave did not work. It was really difficult to enter the very small bathroom with the way the door was configured. You essentially had to step into the shower.

In spite of a few negatives we would certainly stay at the Indigo again. All hotels along Bay St. contend with loud truck traffic taking containers to and from the port. The Indigo was reasonably well soundproofed, but light sleepers should probably ask for a room on the side of the hotel away from Bay Street (although you lose the stunning view of the River and ships if you do so.)

We were so delighted that since our last visit, about 5 years ago, this restaurant still has outstanding cuisine, friendly and capable servers, and is so nice to canine guests. Right after being seated we were asked if Josie would like a small complimentary bowl of white rice and grilled chicken, she loved it. Thank you Indigo Coastal Shanty for another great experience!

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Recommended an excellent restaurant - Luigi’s - with a large covered outdoor dining area. The rooms have a kitchenette (but not a dining table and only one chair). Daily cleaning service is not provided. The property is very clean and there is a large field where dog walking can occur. The hotel is several miles from the I-95 exits for Fayetteville.

This is an exceptionally excellent pet-friendly hotel. Convenient location, friendly staff, large & nice rooms. We enjoyed having a fridge and coffee maker. Could have used a microwave. Only quibble is that they had single use plastic cups instead of glass, and paper cups instead of ceramic mugs -- touches that separate good from great. We'll definitely return here.

The room was spacious, clean and bright. Hotel amenities included an outdoor firepit and small pool. Breakfast was included and generous. There was no closet, just a clothes hanging area, so can't give it 5 bones. But we highly recommend for those traveling with Fido.

It can be hard to find a patch of grass in Center City. Stayed at this property ~10 years ago and enjoyed it; it's still a very good place. Two blocks from Rittenhouse Square which is a large park with plenty of grass! Not too crowded and may happy dogs and owners. Enjoyed the Happy Hour and coffee at the hotel. Our room was very nice! Adjacent to Rittenhouse Square is Parc, a delightful French bistro which I will review separately and give 5 bones!

Our room was large and comfortable with up-to-date decor. Happy that we could watch our own account on Amazon Prime and catch up on the MHZ mystery Mongeville. Front desk staff was friendly. Best feature was our very able, friendly, server, Juan Carlos, who gave us useful menu insights and had great timing with drink refills, replacing our waters with fresh iced glasses, etc. Our meals were delicious; salmon for me and half roasted chicken for Susan. The berry salad we split was excellent! All the hotel staff and several guests were very welcoming to Josie, our mini-schnauzer!

Dined here about 10 years ago and hoped it would still be great. It was! Ambiance ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Cuisine: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! A special shout out to our server Kelly. Her timing was perfect, she was friendly without being gushy. And she ran us down a block away to return a shirt we had left at the table! Highly recommend the Trout Amandine and my veal escalope with a wonderful creamy mushroom sauce. The Entre den Mer was so delicious.

we stayed at this property many times when it was part of the Lowe’s chain. It was clean, modern, and looked like it was decorated by Ralph Lauren. It now sports a very hip vibe and the decor features subtle and obvious elements drawn from the US Naval Academy. Staff fussed over how beautiful Josie is. We really liked self-serve goodies from Poindexters in the lobby. They make an excellent cafe mocha. we had plans for meals elsewhere with our travel companions but the restaurant had an appealing menu and cool
ambience. We unexpectedly had to stay an extra night and they handled that smoothly. The front desk staff was able to give us a multi-connection electronics cord which was a life saver since we had several devices and were missing a cord for our ‘phones (chargers were built into the lamps). The parking valets were friendly and prompt.
the hotel was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and makes us want to stay at one of the other Graduate locations.

Our waiter was so disorganized. Took a long time to pace our orders. He didn't bring the waters we requested with our other beverages. Took a couple of more requests. Great menu and the dood was tasty. However, a soup that was supposed to arrive with the rest of the food was not brought. Waiter said he'd get it right away. Came about 10 minutes later and he said that since he had ladled it himself it had more chicken and tortilla (there wasn't much). However, my first bite was just tepid. Took a good while to get his attention to tell him the soup was unacceptable. He told me that the sour cream on the soup was "supposed to be cold." Well, the broth should have been hot or at least warm. After asking for our bill, we watched the server go to and from the point-of sale machine 2 or 3 times to enter orders for other tables. On any of those trips he could have tapped check out for our table but each time he walked away from the p.o.s. empty handed. With competent service the rating would have been 4 or possibly 5 bones.

Our room was large, fresh, and clean. The breakfast was one of the best we have had in this grade of establishment. Scrambled and hard boiled eggs, sausage links and patties, bagels, bread to toast, waffles, juices coffee, tea, and fruit. An attendant kept it tidy and refilled. Wish the young man at the front desk could have managed a smile when he checked us in or later when I asked where to find ice.

I enjoy older and historic properties, but Park Plaza need some TLC. Smallest bathroom mirror ever. Tiny bath. Dubious looking wiring. But we loved the balcony overlooking the park and the proximity to the shops and restaurants. Our pup was admired by staff and guests alike.

We had a great stay at this attractive, clean modern hotel. Stayed here about 4 years ago and it is nice to see that is has maintained high standards. There are several restaurants across the street with outdoor seating. With rain threatening we opted for Shula's in the hotel. My salmon was excellent, with a beer blanc, served over mashed potatoes and the server cheerfully agreed to substitute my new favorite green veg, Brussels sprouts for the broccoli that was offered. The staff is very friendly and the room was perfect.

We have stayed here 3 times previously. I don’t think it has been cleaned since our last visit 3 years ago pre-COVID. Sofa in our room is filthy. Carpets in the hallway are very dirty and frayed. Management needs to refresh from top to bottom. Corporate office should expel them from the brand. Had we arrived earlier we would have looked for another place. Will be checking out a day early.

Lunch today was excellent. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and well informed. A SC Peach! We had blakened mahi tacos, bang-bang shrimp wraps, and sautéed shrimp tacos. Grilled asparagus was a side and the spears were tasty and cooked perfectly. An order of yam waffle fries was crispy and enough to share. A manager checked to see how everything was. The view of the marina, marsh and ICW was great. We could not have been more pleased!

Josie and Dotti were welcomed by large bowls of water while their parents had nice cocktails and wine. Our smiling server was attentive and the food was delicious and beautifully presented. All our requests were answered, “Of course!” The outdoor dining space was pretty limited and very narrow.
The hostess apologized that the only table for 4 had been taken before our arrival. We all said we would return on our next visit to Norfolk.

Good food and service, great music!
After learning our favorite, Osceola Bistro, had closed we tried the Patio. The wine pours were generous, server was friendly and our grouper sandwich and fish tacos were tasty. Our surprise was the very accomplished do on guitar, keyboard, percussion singing great songs from the 70's-'90's.

We have stayed at East Bay several times over several years. The location is great and staff has always been friendly. Rooms have a lot of charm, and we were pleased to see new sofas and chairs in the lobby, our room, and in the foyer on the second floor. Very pleased the management is taking steps to see that this historic property does not feel tired.
