More of a headache than it's worth...
Well, the parking situation was horrible. The parking spaces were limited so you either street park or valet and hand over the keys to your brand new car. The valet was extremely rude. The air conditioning in our room DID NOT work. It was on the entire time and never cooled down. It was cooler in the hallway and elevator. The shower was mediocre at best, the shower head leaked and the handle was held together with a dry wall screw. On a positive note, the courtyard was very pretty and had adorable beach bunny rabbits.

Great location! Loved the view from our room and the hotel amenities were great. The staff was friendly and helpful. My main complaint was due to the shower which was really hard to get working correctly and the beds weren’t very comfortable. Otherwise we had a great stay!

Absolute worst hotel staff I have ever dealt with. Room was dirty. Somebody else’s dirty tray outside the door. The front desk staff member was extremely rude. I have never dealt with a worse staff member of a hotel. This is the first review I’ve ever left on a hotel or restaurant but I felt it was warranted. Terrible, absolutely terrible staff member and facility. Stay away.
