Highly recommend excellent hotel
All of the staff went above and beyond at this hotel. Buffet breakfast was fresh and delicious. Offered a variety of options. The pool was an infinity edge with an incredible view of the city and ocean. Even had a pool bar. Check in was seamless. Rooms were clean and modern. Booked a private city tour through the concierge , which was a blast. Highly recommend and location was walkable to many stores and restaurants.

Convenient and close to everything.
Front Desk Staff Amazing.
The staff was great! The breakfast was fantastic! The rooms could use some updating, but the rooftop pool and general condition was good. Advice, book rooms in the middle away from the streets.
