This place is as the photos show. There is a pretty amazing view of the beach and ocean, especially considering it is 2 blocks away. The balcony was very pleasant when it wasn't too windy. Ditto the rooftop pool & hot tub. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. The place is pretty small and its cramped with 4 people. Elevators are always a hassle, but at least this unit is only on the 9th floor. There was a lot of street noise. Overall, I was happy I stayed there! :-)
