First rate staff, excellent complementary breakfast brought to the room at requested time. Rooftop hot tub with great view was an unexpected pleasure. Cannot think of a more convenient location. Five stars and kudos to the staff, from management to desk to food service and housekeeping, well done. 👍

We had marina/ocean bay views and a balcony. It was great to sit out there and hear the birds and sea lions. The rooms could use a bit of updating such as carpet and wall decor. But the bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was very well-designed with plenty of counter space. Parking was a breeze, but you could walk to just about everything. Excellent location for restaurants, shopping, museums, and of course the famous aquarium. Driving to the beach or the 17 Mile Drive was very easy. The staff of the hotel were prompt and courteous at all times! Would definitely stay here again.

I watched seals play right from my balcony, i will be staying there again, definitely.

The park below us smelled like urine. There was a lot of construction, repairs taking place. The hotel itself needs upgrades for the high price that you pay. Parking should be free.
