We’ve stayed here a few years ago, and loved it. Made a return when in the area for a Stanford visit. For such an expensive hotel, I expect more. The hotel is beautiful, the room is very spacious with a phenomenal ocean view and balcony. But, there are no amenities to speak of. No gym, no pool, no complimentary continental breakfast/evening beverage. The towels are thin. The TP is inferior. Most importantly, the majority of the staff at the front desk are not friendly. I’ve had to go to the front desk a few times during our stay, and other than this evening, have received a very casual response from the employees. Almost as though they do not want to speak to me. This evening, tho, I had to request replacement keys and was graciously greeted and accommodated. She even offered additional water for my frig! (Th. 1/15 at 5-ish p.m.)

All of the above. The staff was outstanding from check in to assistance during our stay to the wait staff in the Bar and Grill. We stayed 5 nights The hotel itself is stunning, has such a comfortable relaxing feel. Rooms were perfect, view of the harbor was beautiful and even the wet weather we had was beautiful. I highly recommend this hotel for family, business, special occasions- I know this will be our ‘go to’ for the Bay Area! Thank you!

The bed was super hard, and my husband and I tossed and turned most of the night. We both woke up tired and sore. The bathrooms in the rooms offer next to no privacy as the bathroom and bedroom are separated by shutters. Cute idea, but you hear EVERYTHING that's happening in the bathroom, especially the super loud flush from the toilet. With that said, we had some water on our patio that needed to get shop vacuumed and they had someone at our room in maybe 10 minutes which was great! The room itself was super clean.
