Very expensive for mini-sized room ($1200). We reserved a room with an ocean view and if you stand in the exactly right spot and crane your head—you may see a bit of the ocean. Over-priced and under delivered. Plus—extremely limited parking (good luck finding a spot).

Property is quite nice good location and good bones. Restaurant is nice. Food was great. Service at restaurant was great. Front Desk did not honor my reservation. Said it did not exist and was very difficult. Said call Expedia and figure it out. Had to really escalate to just even stay there.

The amenities are well worth the fee. Loved the wine in the afternoons and cookies in the evening. Transportation to and from the downtown area was perfect since the are many hills in the area. The champagne breakfast was excellent - only suggestion would be to have protein available as stand alone item. If you want bacon or sausage it’s only available in the form of a breakfast burrito or omelette.
