Our stay was peaceful, fun & comfortable. I would definitely stay there again.
Pros:

The room was large enough for 4 women to share comfortably. The bathroom had two sinks, one in the main bathroom and one outside the bathroom. The beds were comfortable. I loved the balcony! It was perfect for early morning quiet time. Also, the hotel is walking distance to Main Street and the Pier, which was nice for walking to dinner and shopping.

Cons:

My main complain would be the outside porch light. It stays on all night and you can't turn it off. You have to use the blackout curtain to block it out. I'm not one to completely close my blackout curtain, so that was a bit inconvenient because I kept thinking it was morning when I woke up in the middle of the night.

The location is great and had many great businesses within walking distance, especially Main Street. I would go back to
Pros:

It was walking distance to Main Street, pier, beach, and continent stores. There was free finder foods our first night and free breakfast every morning. We also had a mini fridge in the room.

Cons:

The property was close to train tracks and the highway making it hard to sleep the first night. When showering the first night the drain was backed and forced us to take a shower quickly or else the bathroom would flood. I spoke to the front desk the next morning but was never checked on or fixed. The patio light stays on all night and there’s no way to my knowledge it can be turned off. The AC vent was broken so the only direction it pointed at was the bed. The phone would also make a small clicking sound every 5 seconds but that was easy to ignore after a while. Overall I would not go back to stay at a place like this for $700 for 2 nights.

We really liked it there. It is close to a lot of things like downtown. The pier we would stay again
Pros:

The room was very clean. Was good, they had a nice selection of different food. The first day they offered a breakfast burrito. The weekends they have a happy. With finger foods and you get to choose between a wine or beer. Everyone was very nice.

Cons:

The bathroom light kept turning off on us. Once while I was in the shower.
Would be nice if I knew how to figure that out.

Pros:

Perfect location for events at the fairgrounds. This is our 3rd year staying at the Amanzi for the Seaside Highland Games and we love it. Nice big rooms, quiet, great breakfast and happy hour! We stayed at a closer hotel the first year but the rooms were puny and cost more. This place is so much better!
