Location is wonderful. The property itself has seen better days, though, seems like it could use some tender loving care. The staff was friendly and helpful. Better sound insulation would be nice, as at night, the sound from the nightclub next door was enough to keep us awake in the bay tower.

I wish our stay at this property had been longer. Dave, at check-in, was wonderful and treated us royally (pun intended). We booked ocean view and were upgraded to ocean front. Our parking was included, and he gave us a bottle of champagne with two plastic flutes because it was our anniversary. It was fabulous hearing the ocean waves all night. We were unable to get our sliding door to the balcony open until the morning after we checked in (figured out it was closed crooked, as there was a gap at the top and not the bottom. Once I figured that out, I pushed it closed hard to line it up, and was then able to open it.) So pics of the sunset and moon over the water the first night were taken through the glass, but still beautiful. Morning yoga was AMAZING. What a beautiful, peaceful place to get our zen on. The location was fantastic, with lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again, and longer next time.

Reservation was for a king size bed and they gave us two standards with no option or reduction in price. All day traveling to be sleeping on a uncomfortable small bed not a good start to a vacation

There was a lot of construction going on which was loud in the afternoon. A lot of the facility was torn up for construction. There was no room service nor a valet service. The hotel furniture in the room was battered and functioned poorly. The bathtub needed non-slick safety surfaces. The temperature of the shower varied constantly from too hot to too cold.
