fantastic harbor view!

easy parking beautiful location many restaurants
i loved how clean everything was and parking was easy. the location is beautiful, right across from the beach and harbor. i found so many restaurants within walking distance. the pier is across the street with even more places to eat and shop (it's really convenient!).
the wifi in my room was terrible. my cellphone reception wasn't great, so i relied on the hotel's wifi, but it barely worked in my room.
Dining
9/10
the breakfast had a good variety, from bagels to fresh fruit. the hotel offers complimentary wine and cheese in the early evening, a nice touch. i found these offerings came in handy.
Facilities
9/10
the pool looked very clean with a nice temperature. parking is included and located behind the building, a big plus (especially when you have luggage). the grounds were pretty and well-kept.
Service
10/10
the staff are friendly and helpful, they go above and beyond. i noticed coffee, tea, and water were available in the lobby upon arrival. cristina, the front desk clerk, explained everything patiently.

adequate stay by the harbor

harbor views afternoon wine helpful staff small room thin walls limited breakfast
the location is great for harbor views. i enjoyed the wine and cheese served in the afternoon. the staff seemed happy to help with requests.
the room i had was small. thin walls meant i could hear noises easily from other rooms. the breakfast options were very limited.
