Hotel is lovely, it takes you back to old glamorous days but it is older and is not perfect. We upgraded to a balcony ocean view room and it was amazing. You will pay a hefty price here for a view though. The location is key here, very walkable to great restaurants and boutique shopping. Walkable to ocean and seal watching, long paths for walking and biking. Valet was very welcoming and friendly. Pool side is lovely but a small area, you can hear the traffic on the street. Overall lovely grounds, friendly service and center of activities. It's a popular place for weddings each weekend as we saw 3 weddings over the weekend. Side note, the bathrooms and closet space are on the smaller side.
