Great hotel. Close proximity to the beach and lots of walkable food options. Only con is the loud pub at night however it’s pretty muffled from the room we were in and wasn’t loud too late.

Spent 5 nights. Roof top bar and downstairs bar were closed for private parties on more nights than they were open to hotel guests. I enjoyed the variety of restaurants down a mostly pedestrian path adjacent to the hotel. Central Station is only 5 blocks away.
