weak water pressure paper-thin walls
i found a couple of things less than stellar. the water pressure in the shower was like a dribble. also, the walls seemed paper-thin i could hear every conversation and footstep from the room next door, which wasn't exactly conducive to a restful night.

an okay stay, some issues encountered
noisy room small pillows
the location allowed easy walks to many points of interest.
The room above mine was noisy throughout the night. It sounded like furniture was moved constantly. i mentioned this at check-out, and the manager said rooms are above others, but did not offer an apology or solution. the pillows were also small and unsupportive, a detail that affected my sleep quality.

The front desk staff was consistently helpful and kind. The lobby had complimentary coffee, fresh fruit, and cookies available. I enjoyed the welcome beverage offered upon arrival (I chose a margarita!). The location was perfect. It was an easy walk to many restaurants and the pier.
The pillows were quite puffy (a personal preference!), so if you prefer flatter pillows, consider bringing your own.
