Unbeatable location with an amazing pool. Great value for the combination of location and amenities for the price.
We would happily stay there again.
There are a couple of minor kinks to be worked out because the building is new and the adjoining hotel isn't open yet. However, by the time you read this - these will likely be non-factors because they are easy fixes.
First, you're about a block and a half from Hollywood's broadwalk with tons of shops, food, ice cream, etc. - we basically just parked our chairs at the end of the street.
The rooftop pool is beautiful and was virtually like our private pool since the hotel isn't open to the public yet.
The room was basically the size of a hotel room, overlooking an indoor courtyard. Great shower, mini-fridge, nice tile flooring, new bed - it's really a nice place.
The kinks that kept me from making this a perfect 5 stars are that there's no phone service (Verizon) in the building, and the WIFI wasn't working. The first couple days it was unavailable completely, but even when it came available it didn't work.
Nobody goes to the beach to sit in the room on their phone, so it wasn't a huge deal - but it made me a little nervous being in a nearly empty building with no way to contact the outside world in case of emergency.
None of that is Andrea's fault, it's just one of those things the building is still figuring out I assume.
Also, the mattress was super comfortable but was covered with a non-fitted sheet and had no mattress protector/cover on it. So you'd wake up and be accidentally touching the surface of the mattress - which in a rental, isn't a fun feeling.
Again - this is a quick and easy fix.
Andrea was nice when we met, and she was gracious enough to meet us a few hours early so we could check in ahead of schedule. She was also available via text and tried to help with WIFI and other questions, so no complaints there.
Overall, very good stay at one of our go-to beaches!
