8.6/10 Excellent! (1,200 reviews)

Location looks clean, like either new or newly remodeled. Parking garage is a bit built weird. Some parking spaces had the actual column within the space. Some huge spaces are marked compact. And driving around garage had weird turns. One of the elevators shakes a bit, that’s why I’m thinking building was remodeled, vs. newly built. It shakes while closing and makes this loud noise. Breakfast is the only thing I was hoping for better. The ‘hot’ foods were actually cold. Coffee tastes very watered down. The sausage/turkey sausage has a weird taste to it. I’m guessing it was all frozen items (which is ok), but not heated up enough. And after heated, it wasn’t kept warm enough on serving to table. Otherwise, it was a really nice stay. The kids were really looking forward to breakfast. They loved the pool!

9.6/10 Exceptional! (282 reviews)

The spa turned out to be inaccessible without pre-booking. That went for the sauna also which we would have liked to use. The location was perfect for downtown strolls. Be forewarned, but if you have a car, valet parking is $50 a day. The facilities are lovely and not overcrowded. even on Memorial Day weekend with many families in residence. Everyone seemed charming and well-behaved. I had booked a room with a balcony and partial ocean view which turned out to be right over parked cars on a side street! The front desk moved me upon request to a room overlooking the pool which was a huge improvement. Hotel restaurant for breakfast and informal meals is across the entrance courtyard, and there is nowhere onsite for a quick coffee and pasty. Rooms have Nespresso machines but not enough creamer for two servings! They do, however, give guests free water and snacks like taffy and caramel popcorn!
