The location was great. It was an easy walk to multiple restaurants and a beautiful coastal trail. The onsite restaurants were decent but not always open during the posted times. If you are looking for an upscale stay. This isn't it. The hotel rooms are very dated. I booked an ocean view but received a view of buildings and a partial mountain view. The front desk staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. I was supposed to get a $20 resort credit with my VIP booking, but when I asked about it, I found out that it is only usable in one restaurant for breakfast, and it would only work on 1 day of my 3-day stay. Beware, there is no self-parking onsite, and the $40 valet fee per night seems outrageous when there is free street parking over the weekend within a block of the hotel -- look for parking meters with orange polls if you want to take advantage of free overnight/weekend parking.
