We have just returned from 7 nights at this hotel and loved it! Staff were helpful and friendly and had no problems whatsoever. The rooms were clean and the beds the most comfortable we have ever slept in whilst away. The terrace is great to return 'home' to after exploring during the day and you can watch the sun go down over the sea as well as people watch. Just round the corner is 3rd St promenade which is great for evening meals and shopping. There are also street entertainers which adds to the lively atmosphere. Walk to the end of 3rd St Promenade and turn right to find a restaurant called P. F. Changs. The food, surroundings and price are amazing here. For breakfast, if you choose not to eat at the hotel, go to Broadway deli (left out the hotel, left again and keep going until you see it on the left). If you are sight seeing without a car as we were, the bus service is frequent and very convenient. Go see the lovely ladies across the road from the hotel at the tourist info centre and they will fill you in on what you need to see and how to get there. Bus stops are just along from the hotel and you will see every type of person on them!!! Be warned, they only have 2 speeds. Stationary and foot to the boards, the roads are not terrific (earthquakes) and your bottom will feel every bump.The beaches are huge expanses of white sand not at all crowded and just lovely. There are a few homeless people kicking about around the hotel, but they do not bother you at all. All in all good time and great hotel with loads of character. Thank you Amy on reception for the big smile after a long trip from the Uk!
