Very average and comfortable but it is so overpriced for what you get. I didn’t like the privacy blind that comes down for the bathroom. Not enough privacy. I upgraded my room because the first room I had was supposed to be Ocean view but you could not see the ocean unless you leaned over the balcony railing.

Room was quite nice and staff were very responsive. However, the hotel continues to undergo major renovations and that really disrupted dining options in the hotel. Also, parking at the garage next door was very expensive—$55 a night, and that really added to our expense.

Amazingly close to the Pier, restaurants and shopping. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms clean, well appointed and supplied. Our only negative were the beds were very uncomfortable… not great for bad backs. Otherwise 5 stars.

Non-accommodating staff.

Even on a day when the hotel is not busy, staff does not accommodate any special requests. Staff is also not particularly helpful with local information (restaurants, parking, etc.)

Modern eco-friendly hotel right on the beach!

We were thrilled with the location - only a 2-lane street across from the beach! It is ultra-modern, despite being opened in 2011. Staff are very helpful and accomodating. The 2-queen-bed room is a bit tight for opening luggage, but the bathroom is great! (Except for no towel drying racks.) The downside at the time we were there, there was no restaurant or bar due to remodeling. On-site valet underground parking is pricey. So many restaurants and bars within easy walking distance! We hope to stay there again!
