    Sound through walls from above and adjacent was loud at times. Refrig had a sour smell although looked clean.

    Great healthy breakfast options with varied daily offerings. Our room had beautiful view of the pool and USS Midway. Clean and a lot of space in the room with everything-needed kitchenette items.

    No housekeeping was available everyday, crib took 3 requests to be delivered in the room, but when it did it was nice and comfortable for baby.

    Location was good, kitchen amenities super helpful for someone traveling with an infant, free breakfast, nice pool and rooftop bar.

    Reception staff talking about other customers while I was waiting to check in. Also, got charged twice when I prepaid for the room. Also, staff member checking me in was not entirely clear with her questions. In other words I had to finish her thoughts in trying to understand what she was saying. Overall not impressed with the check-in staff.

    The hotel is overpriced. It's just a business hotel, nothing special. The breakfast was quite poor. No healthy food, no real bread, bananas were the only fruit. Breakfast is until 9.00 am and they start clearing up at 8.45 am. There are no possibilities to have lunch in the hotel. After breakfast and until the rooftop bar opens you can't get anything to eat or drink.

    We liked the spacious room with the wonderful view. The location near the harbor and close tot Santa Fee Station was very good. The best was the rooftop restaurant at sunset with delicious cocktails and food but it is not a proper restaurant.

    No room service.

    I love the most there are kitchen appliances in the room, fridge, cook tops/stove, microwave, coffee machine, dishwasher, sink, even simple cooking & eating utensils (pots, plates, bowl, spoons & forks! Sofa Bed can convert into a bed, that my 10 years old sleeps there. The Mini Market Downstairs, My daughters & Myself love it, and The Laundry (Washing Machine & Dryer) on Level 17, Perfect for a family with your kids like mine, Also very beautiful location, view from our room is amazing.

    I wish there was a bathtub in our one bedroom suite! There were only showers available and our toddler hates showers haha.

    The hotel was perfect for our little family of three! We had almost all the amenities we needed that made traveling with a toddler so much easier. The location is also incredible. So many things to do and see right outside the hotel itself or within walking distance/a short drive. We would definitely stay again and recommend this hotel to others!

    The bed linen were not replaced after the previous guests have left. There were crumbs, clumps of hair and what we thought was a drop of blood on the bed cover. The glass had lipstick mark and smudges. The cutlery had hardened food stuck on its surfaces. It took the staff more than 30 minutes to address our concern.

    Unfortunately was let down by cleanliness in room & hotel. Room was not very clean upon check in with a lot of loose hairs around (bathroom floor, kitchen counter etc). Daily cleaning not great either.

    Location and views from the hotel were great!

    Everything was great, nothing to complain about.

    From the valet to the receptionist & all the staff there, very friendly and helpful. The room was great. Beautiful view, and I loved that they had a full-size fridge, kitchen, dishes, and silverware. Everything I needed was in our room. The bed was very comfortable, and there was also a pull out couch. Extra pillow & blanket. The complimentary breakfast was delicious, They had many options. They also have a little market where you can buy snacks, sandwiches, and other food items. We stayed there for an event that was at the waterfront. It was walking distance for us, so that was a plus. I definitely recommend staying there. Beautiful hotel and exceptional staff.
