Pros:

The valet drivers were very nice.
Wine and cheese was a nice touch and the breakfast to your room was lovely. Noon check out was great. I recommend getting a street view with balcony!!

Cons:

4 o'clock check in. I realize most places have 4 o'clock check in. But they usually accommodate if you come in a little early.

Pros:

The location was great and windows opened to get the cool air at night.

Cons:

No air conditioning in the room. The was about 80 degrees it took about 30 mintues to get the room comfortable. We had the ceiling fan on, the floor fan and closed the curtains.
The valet parking was very expensive.

You need to stay here!
Pros:

Our stay was over the top wonderful! Loved the room, the bay windows that you could sit in and enjoy the fabulous view with the windows open so you hear the surf, loved the fireplace, the comfy chairs, the small table to enjoy the free breakfast that was delivered to the room, enjoyed the wine and cheese reception each evening. So many little things, a fresh rose in the room, and our room was made up each day without asking for it. The lighting in the room is romantic. In my opinion, it's better value and ambiance than the Plaza hotel down the street where we recently stayed.

Cons:

Water pressure for the shower was a little low

Beautiful hotel in a beautiful place
Pros:

It was stunning! We watched the sea otters play in the ocean through our window. The bed and fireplace were fantastic. It was a short walk to the aquarium and we went to dinner nearby.

Save your money!
Pros:

It was close to the bay

Cons:

I was told when I reserved the room that it would face the bay. When I checked in I was told that the rooms facing the bay were taken. I explained my case and was told that there was nothing they could do. A bay-facing room was the only reason I got it for my wife's birthday.
