I stayed there for my birthday, just to get away for a couple days with my wife. I booked a suite. 2 hours before check-in i called the place to see what view my room had, guess it had a lovely side view or the hotel next door or the alleyway? I asked if i can get a ocean view room and the lady said yes for a extra $30 so i did. There is no parking anywhere, you have to use valet which is another $30 per night smh -_- but whatever. The windows still feature old school sliding windows, u know how when u go to other resorts and hotels you can't open any windows or barely open them?! Not these windows, your able to open them all the way which is amazing and scary at the same time. They have a small dining area on the front patio, with a small bar, the ladies at the front desk were all nice and friendly. The elevator was beyond unique, you press the button, wait till you hear the elevator land on your floor or if you don't hear anything it might already be on your floor, then you open the door which looks like a service elevator door or a door that leads to the stairs, but nope its the door to the elevator!!! Its a small elevator which can fit 4 people comfortably with luggage or bags. Beautiful sunsets in front, watched them from the park across the street. We will be booking another stay next year during the summer:)…I stayed there for my birthday, just to get away for a couple days with my wife.
