The front desk staff were excellent and very helpful. They provided us with an umbrella and beach towels when needed. The food was delicious. Breakfast buffet included a sautéed veggie mix with black-eyed peas that I loved. We tried lunch one day and ordered the tuna in green sauce that was recommended by the waitress and were so glad we did! We are from San Diego and get a lot of good fish at home, but this was the best preparation we’d ever had! The diced peppers and onions in the basil vinegar sauce on top was heavenly. We also tried the passion fruit cheesecake, which was delicious as well, but different than cheesecake from home. The cheesecake was lighter and more the consistency of flan on top of a good crust. The location of this hotel was good as well, with a gorgeous garden in front that made me want to just sit and read all day and look at the variety of flowers and trees. The parking wasn’t ideal, but we got lucky when we arrived in the middle of the night and found a metered spot out front. Then the second day we found a spot in the free lot several blocks away. We were thankful that the staff provided us with a quiet room. We were so busy that we never told them, but the room did have quite a strong mildew smell when the air was off. Also, the air conditioner was far from ideal. We couldn’t get it to point anywhere except directly at the bed, which made it too cold to sleep, so we had to leave it off at night. It was most comfortable bed of our stay!
