The room itself was clean but incredibly small … the bathroom was very tiny and there was barely room to walk around the bed. The bed was also not comfortable… all this for an outrageously expensive price….and zero view of the water.

Need renovation on this hotel
The room that I stayed was so small you can barely walk around and you can’t even put a lot of your belongings anywhere. I was also expecting a hot breakfast but instead just some pastries with coffee, tea, and juices. Not least but lastly, I had to go to front desk to reactive card keys several times during my 4 nights stay, which was ridiculous.

Was impressed with the cleanliness and friendliness of staff. It felt severely understaffed at some moments and this is the first hotel I experienced having to request cleaning service. We enjoyed the proximity to restaurants and coffee shops. Secondary parking wasn't far but I can see how people find it inconvenient. The gym facility was very limited. The room felt modern and upkeep was evident.

Stayed many times. Staff is always helpful and great to deal with. Clean rooms. Breakfast is a bonus. Close to good restaurants. The best ones get busy, so best to make a reservation. Mariposa market bakery is a must visit!

The room, although very small, was clean and quiet. We had to take a set of stairs down and up to get your room. We both have accessibility needs and this was a huge disappointment. The breakfast was terrible. More selection would be great and more fresh fruit.

property was generally clean, although older. Staff was very hospitable. Rooms small. Homeless people from park often came in to lobby, bothered guests, and often stole food items from dining area.
