Loved our ocean view. Convenient walking to eateries and shopping and sites. Believed we had a guaranteed parking spot for our rental car. Only 5 spots provided by hotel for a hundred rooms. We had to scramble looking for paid parking, would have been good to know ahead of time - full disclosure on that!

Beware of the shower

Ok stay. Very professional staff. They took care of my bag while I was touring both before and after my stay. Basic room with new restroom. The water from the shower smelled like sulfur. I wondered if the people I met that day could smell it on me. Friends stayed at another, comparable hotel that provided an odorless showering experience. I expect at least that much from a pricey, four-star hotel.
