However, I encountered some struggles with the service quality, particularly with the bar and front desk, which affected the overall experience. Overall, it had both highs and lows but left a decent impression.

My stay at Forty 1 North was a mix of beautiful views and frustrating service. While the waterfront location and amenities like the fireplace and soaking tub added charm to my experience, the slow response times from the staff dampened the mood. Overall, it's a lovely hotel, but improvements in customer service are needed. 😕

While I appreciated the option to use the lounge and enjoy views overlooking the harbor, the waitstaff seemed untrained. I often didn't receive attention even when the bar wasn't busy, which was disappointing.

The hotel's amenities were impressive, and I enjoyed the well-equipped gym that was just a short walk away. However, the smell from the kitchen sometimes permeated the area, which was off-putting.

My stay at Forty 1 North was a mixed bag. The location right on the marina was stunning, and the ambiance was lovely. However, for the price I paid, I expected more in terms of room amenities and overall service. The staff was friendly, but the restaurant's hours were inconsistent. Overall, I enjoyed my time, but improvements could be made.
Rooms

I stayed in a Premium Water View room, which offered beautiful views of the marina. However, given the $800 price tag, I expected a separate living area, which I didn't have. The furnishings were lovely, but the close seating made it challenging for two to enjoy the view together comfortably.
Service
7.0
The staff was generally friendly, especially at the bar, but I encountered some issues. The front desk was often unattended, and the indoor restaurant seemed closed more often than not. This led to a somewhat ghost town feel around the hotel.

The hotel had several nice facilities like valet parking and tours/ticket assistance. However, the lack of consistent restaurant hours was disappointing. Despite this, the charm of the hotel shone through.
