We stayed here for a couple of nights recently and the location is pretty good, right on the beach and next to all the shops and restaurants. Our room happened to be on the street side and got very noisy even with the door closed. There seem to be maybe 5 rooms, probably their suites, that are fully oceanfront. If you get a room facing the pier it probably wouldn't be as bad bit the other 2 options are street side and Oceanside over a noisy rooftop with air conditioners which may not be too bad as long as you were high enough up and could look past that eyesore. The beds are small and not comfortable. The pillows have no form and seem like a 10 year old pillow with no filling. The pools seem great....if you could find a seat. There is clearly a sign that states no saving seats with towels and I would say half of them were being saved with no one sitting in them for an hour. We had to stalk people to see if they were getting up to get a seat. The pool bar service was very slow and we ended up walking away and not getting anything there was only 1 more person at the bar. The mandatory $25 a day valet parking is just stupid. The breakfast that was included for diamond members is a joke, toast, bagels and cereal. If you wanted anything hot it was an update. Ordered room service man who answered seemed to really hate his job and like he could care less. The man who brought it was nice and the food was decent. Overall this place is way overpriced and there are better spots here to stay for the same amount or less
