Staff was amazing. very nice room. Mine was facing the bay, which was really nice. My only critique is that I was really looking forward to my room being clean when coming back from eating and running errands and it wasn’t I had to ask for fresh towels it was a little disappointing, cause I really like for my room to be clean when I’m gone, but everything else was amazing.
