"The location was great. Near the beach, restaurants, etc. Pretty basic for the high price (should have been an off peak weekend?). Room was clean but bare. Gym was minimal. The hotel has a contract with a full service offsite gym but if you’re trying to squeeze in a workout you may be disappointed. You’re paying for the location and the location can’t be beat! Restaurant across the street (which belongs to the hotel?) was awesome! Beach was right there and wonderful. Very close to the Cliff Walk entrance."
