The room was noisy and i couldn't sleep. Hotel staff said because the rooftop unit makes a lot of noise. He could not change me to another room. All he could do is bring me earplugs.

Reception and valet service was excellent. Very friendly and efficient. I believe this hotel was restored or previously a different hotel, overall very clean coastal atmosphere, showers could use a thorough bleaching and grout sealing refresh. Water pressure was fair, could be better. Great location. Would visit again.
