The hotel has really clean, comfortable beds. the valet team was attentive to our comings and goings. I really appreciated that quick access to the beach was available. plus, the hotel is just a few blocks away from downtown. So convenient!
i found that i did not have much of a view of the ocean, and it was a little disappointing.

The location was pretty great across from the beach, I must admit. Valets were very helpful.
I stayed in one of the most expensive rooms. The music from a wedding directly below shook the room. No one told me about it. The staff said the sound would end an hour prior, it did not. It kept pounding. So disappointing.
