"This spot was super convenient to us. We were able to park and find everything we needed within walking distance if it wasn't already at the hotel. We didn't spend time in the lagoon/beach right across the street, but a five minute drive down Catalina/Esplanade brought us to Avenue C or E beach access stairs/ramps, there was ample parking.
We went during the World Cup timeframe where USA was playing at SOFI, it was convenient to get to from the hotel. The hotel was adequately staffed for such a busy time and celebrated the WC by having exhibitors and soccer/futbol decor."
