Romantic getaway SUCCESS!
free parking romantic vibe easy walk
I found free parking available. The hotel is located close to the harbor and the funk zone, an easy walk. The flowers and landscaping around the hotel added to the romantic vibe. It was just lovely.
The breakfast area got a tad crowded during peak hours, it seemed.
Service
10/10
The staff provided a handwritten note, a bottle of champagne, and chocolates upon arrival. This was an unexpected, sweet gesture. The front desk staff was helpful with directions and recommendations, a true kindness. I FELT so welcome.

This place offers quick access to the freeway, the downtown area, and the funk zone. It IS super convenient. The harbor is a short drive away, around five minutes by car. I enjoyed the proximity to key areas.
Rooms

The room overlooked the courtyard and pool area. It was a GOOD view. The room featured a backdoor with direct access to the courtyard. This created a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. Everything was super clean and cozy.

Breakfast provided a nice start to the day with decent options and fresh coffee. It hit the spot. In the evening, complimentary wine, cheese, and crackers were available. This was a thoughtful offering. The food was AMAZING!!!

Decent Stay with Some Disappointments
outdated room nicier bathroom
The location was acceptable, though the parking was expensive.
The room was a little old. I expected something slightly more updated based on the pictures online. The bathroom could have been nicer. It just seemed a bit outdated for the price I paid.
