The location of this property is excellent. You can walk to the beach, to Mount Solar if you want a challenging hike, it’s close to restaurants, shopping and the art walk on Fridays. The breakfast buffet (or a la carte) is very good with a lot of options. I have two complaints though. The first is that our rooms on the 5th floor had to be accessed by a steep set of stairs. This was a surprise, I had not seen any mention of this in reviews or on the website. This was fine for my room but I had to go back to reception (a little trek), to get my parents room changed as these stairs would have been a challenge for them to do multiple times a day. They ended up with a larger room (additional cost) which was further away from the pool (quieter), and generally more soundproof than my room. The views looking over the marina were fantastic. I had the standard marina view room which was small, there wasn’t anywhere to sit in the room except on the bed. The balcony was great though, we spent a lot of time out there. My second complaint was the noise. We could hear music from the pool, sea lions barking, music from restaurants across the street, with both doors closed, it was very noisy. Fortunately the pool music gets turned off around 9-9:30. We had to leave the air conditioner on all night to block out the noise. If I stayed here again, I would pay extra for the larger room, my parents had no complaints and didn’t need the AC to get sleep.
