I liked that it's accessible to the beach across the street. It was a better experience than when I reserved at another hotel a year ago. It has a very Asian/Greek/morrocan/tropical influence, which is a bit confusing because when you look at the hotel - its Spanish architecture. It would be nice if it still catered to a Spanish decor with a few modern touches.
Fantastic location, walking distance to State street, plenty of restaurants, and the beach just across the street. Loved our ocean-side breakfast. The room was wonderful. The only thing that was lacking was wifi :)
Arquitectually atractive, great location, good service.

Beautiful property, the facility was gorgeous and next to the beach, this is a wonderful facility to relax and the gym was adequate and very clean! It is a place that I must return to at some point and time!
Beautiful boutique hotel with character and ocean view across from beach and park. Quiet location with short drive or 1-2 mile walk to downtown restaurants and shops.
We checked into the standard room and the room was beautiful but not the view we wanted since we were facing the parking lot. We upgraded to the beachfront view and it was so worth it. The staff was accommodating and made it happen. The view was incredible.
Spotless room. Quick, responsive staff. The Convivo restaurant serves a surprising international menu.
Wonderfully located across from the beach. Good walking.
