Second time staying at this hotel (previous stay was 6 years ago). Enjoyed the location (1-2 blocks from the beach), daily breakfast, amenities (eg beach towels, beach chairs - 2 per room max), and overall cleanliness. Compared to our last stay, we encountered a few more issues - we were given a complimentary room upgrade, but the room had some issues: the sofa bed mattress was too soft/lumpy (fortunately staff were able to get us a second mattress to lay on top that made this a lot more comfortable after night 3); the lighting in the room flickered if you set something down too hard on the nightstand; and the balcony sliding door jiggled at night from the wind (though it has a second latch), and one of the drawers kept sliding open. I also had some trouble locating instructions for how to connect the room tv to a steaming service, and then took some troubleshooting when they didn’t quite work (fortunately a staff member was able to help with this after a couple of calls down to the lobby). The tower we stayed in also had very slow elevators (I’ve seen others comment that said it could be 10-20mins during peak hours, and this was not an exaggeration). The hotel pool is small and didn’t seem to be in use often, unlike surrounding hotels. In terms of the immediate vicinity, homelessness is definitely apparent, and we saw (and smelled) some unpleasant things during the short walk to/from the hotel. The lei making class has limited spots, so reserve early if you’re interested!
