I recommend this property as an ideal base of operation for visiting the area (despite a couple of issues), due to its location, condition, and staff responsiveness. Our unit looked exactly like the photos. It appeared to be recently updated and everything was sparkling clean. Sure, there's no panoramic view, but once you're in the room, it's as comfortable as any midrange hotel. And you can unload your car right outside your door. The location is about 2 blocks from the promenade and the ocean and maybe 3-4 from the business district. All super walkable. Our biggest issue was that Wifi was out, which the staff found a way to address.
