My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was superb, offering easy access to the beach and various dining options. The rooms, though on the small side, provided a stunning view of the harbor like being in a large cruise ship room. The service was top-notch, with friendly and smart staff, but the dining experience was underwhelming with meager breakfast choices. Despite these aspects, the well-kept pool area added to the enjoyment of my stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, despite being smaller than I'm used to and not being ready until 4 pm, was incredibly comfortable with a partial ocean view. The hotel is in a great location, but a bit pricey for the room size. The service was fantastic, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and readily available for advice, although there were issues with late checkout. The dining experience was satisfactory but nothing special, especially the old fruit. Overall, the hotel provides great views and is within walking distance of everything, but it's at the top of a very steep hill, making it less convenient. The breakfast setup was convenient, but the quality could be improved. The facilities were adequate, offering everything I needed during my stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was great with easy access to the beach, shopping, and dining options. The rooms were a bit noisy and small, but the hotel offered a spa tub and a panoramic view in Las Vegas. The service started off a bit rough but ended up being beyond amazing. The dining was delightful with a nice view, but could use some improvement with timing. Overall, the facilities were decent with room for enhancement in certain areas.
