Stayed here in July 2016. We got to check-in early, which was fantastic! Got a great corner room with a panoramic view of the marina, harbor, Coronado & the bridge. Beautiful! Room & bathroom were big, updated & modern. Only missed having a balcony... Ate at Exchange because it was easy & food was okay. Pool could be a bit bigger & warmer, but was still fun for both day & night swimming! Pool area is very nice, with water features, plus fire pits for the mornings & evenings (as the buildings create a big of a wind tunnel & it can be cold). The reflection of the sun off the building could be blinding when at the pool or even on the Boardwalk. It also created a surreal light at the pool at about 3pm, which was kind-of cool. Starbucks was VERY convenient! Hotel was very busy with a conference of high schoolers, who were generally well-behaved, but clogged the elevators at times. Lots of good places to eat close by (found on Yelp of course) & things to do. Overall a good place for a stay-cation.
