This was such a happening location. The beautiful beach is just steps away. Restaurants and shops of all kinds surround the area. The hotel common deck areas offer safe and quiet spaces to spend time visiting, or just watching the water, the people, and best of all - the sunset. Housecleaning people are always working hard and very friendly. Lobby also welcoming and well stocked with food, drink, and souvenirs. The area is a little loud at night, but it is a fun atmosphere. There are quite a few homeless in the area, but there are also many Rangers present. I liked how the hotel required a key to access the property. I enjoyed the Wednesday night street fair, and the nearby bike rental location.
