Clean room, great layout, and very comfortable beds. The service was great and had amazing ocean views. The only issue was the ceiling was noisy when upstairs tenants walked so it was tough when they walked into their room after midnight. Otherwise, we highly recommend staying on top level floors and enjoying the great eats recommended by the concierge.

good spot, some issues for picky traveler

this hotel is in a prime spot for sure. I have somewhat limited mobility, but even I was able to walk to several restaurants, shops, a full sized cvs, plus the aquarium, a rage room, and more than one escape room. it is a bit hilly and the pavement isn't fully even in the vicinity, but it is walkable and safe. highly recommend if you're just looking for a place to crash and want to save on parking fees and hassles. the staff is also very lovely and helpful the less than great - i could hear every step taken by the very active people in the room above me. so request a top floor room to avoid that. i heard little more than murmurs from the shared wall where my bed was though. there are some signs of people allowing their children to deface property, so please talk to your kids about respecting spaces that aren't theirs. coloring all over a chair isn't cute. that's not on the hotel staff. the beds are marketed as plush, but that's not the case. my sister, mom, and i all had various levels of discomfort, however i know that the vast majority of people prefer firmer mattresses, so this issue likely won't be a problem for most. this is strictly for people with nerve sensitivity issues. the fridge is tiny, even a small pizza box wouldn't fit without standing on its side, and no microwaves in the rooms, so not great for leftovers, but perfect for drinks. there is an elevator, ample parking, and two luggage trolleys if needed
