The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable, offering a great spa experience.

The hotel is in a great location, just across the street from the beach and a short walk to Fisherman's Wharf. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the lack of safety bars in the bathroom was a downside. The staff was incredibly helpful, but some updates are needed in the service. The dining experience involved using a discount voucher for an adjoining restaurant, which was convenient but with slightly high prices. The location is peaceful, close to the pier, with a decent price point.
