Pros:

Beautiful views - nice comfy beds

Cons:

Very intense pinesol commercial cleaner smell upon checking in; instant migraine. Took hours to air it out with all the sliding windows wide open - def interrupted the experience as we didn’t feel well after that.
We could have used a comforter for the second bed.

Clean, great location and friendly staff
Pros:

Gorgeous location overlooking the harbour (plus bonus sea lions who were very loud!! But the hotel did warn us and provide ear plugs!). Very friendly staff, and spotlessly clean. Really good value!

Cons:

The room could use a bit of "zhujjing up". It was a very spacious suite but felt empty and clinical. Some more furnishings, art on the walls, rugs, etc to make it feel cozy and inviting would be great. It just felt like a lot of white, blank walls and cold tile floors, and we would have loved to cozy up with a little electric fireplace or something.
