You can’t beat the location. Love the attacked rooftop bar/ restaurant. Great for walking the historic main St. in PDC. The breakfast on site is very good. Actually the whole layout for amenities and extras is great.

Love this place!
Amazing stay… the thing I loved the most about this place is when you first walk in the room, you notice how clean it is. I’m the traveler who wipes down everything with Clorox wipes and I told my husband, “wow, first time I feel like I don’t need to wipe down the room”. The decor was beautiful. Staff very accommodating and pleasant. Nice touch on the drinks and snacks in the lobby. 10 stars for us. Highly recommend.

Excellent experience
It was amazing! I don't sleep well in hotels but the bed was comfortable! Enjoyed our time spent at the Waterfront Hotel, it was located in the middle of all our activities and we could run back to the hotel at any time. We will be back! Thanks for a great time!

repeat customer
From the time we got to the desk and to our room until we had breakfast and checked out, we felt welcomed. There was also a wedding going on and they were busy, but the staff was on top of everything. The room was spotless and the snack tray was fully stocked, which was a nice touch! This was our 4th stay and it was the best. We will be back!
