Great location, poor housekeeping, rude front desk — not worth it.
Pros:

The location is hard to beat — right in our neighborhood, a short walk to the beach. The recent renovation looks nice, and most of the staff we dealt with were friendly.

Cons:

Housekeeping was poor throughout our stay — the shower was never properly cleaned, towel sets went missing, and one day the room wasn't serviced at all. When I asked to change rooms, I was told there was "no availability" and just handed clean towels. The front desk receptionist who handled my checkout on October 20 was rude and unhelpful.
