I will definitely be back, definitely recommend to others.
Pros:

The hotel was gorgeous! The beds were so comfy that I actually slept in. Our stay was quiet and clean. The staff was amazing!
Our window view was gorgeous and the tv had a million channels to choose from.

Cons:

Parking was rough, walking with an injury was not easy.
The walk to parking is about 10 minutes. Suggestions- keep your plugged upfront and drop off and pick up that way.
Coffee bar area took quite awhile with 4-5 staff members. However the coffee was great!

Horrible experience
Pros:

Nothing, other than location.

Cons:

Not clean, no hot water, very shaby, no restaurant, no answer when calling the reception, really ugly room, hard pillows and short on cleaning staff. My room was not ready at 3:00 pm, I had to walk around after more than 4 hrs trip, hot outside and nowhere to eat or drink in the premises.

Great location, quiet, clean and fun!
Pros:

Staff was exceptional, location was absolutely perfect. Easy walking distance to Pier, local bars and restaurants and downtown nightlife. Also coffee shop downstairs was excellent. We got an upgrade on our room and it solidified that I am 100 percent a balcony gal! The sunset was gorgeous from the 6th floor. It was also really quiet, you really couldn’t hear anything other than doors which were very few times.

Cons:

The shower pressure was horrible :( it wasn’t even worth trying to get clean. You could see the shower head just needed cleaned and it would probably be okay

OUR NIGHTMARE STAY IN A "4 STAR" MOTEL
Pros:

CLOSE TO WATER.

Cons:

This was supposed to be a four-star hotel. In reality, it's just a high-rise motel. There is only one person on duty. There was no bellboy, manager, or service. We paid $200 a night and were supposed to get bathrobes without having to ask for them. But there was no way, even though they were included in the price. We had to beg for them and show proof that they were included. The bathrobes we received the next day were not ironed and were in terrible condition. The receptionist didn't know anything. When we asked for the manager, he was unavailable. It was my birthday, so we asked for wine glasses. All this so-called "four-star hotel" could offer were styrofoam cups. The whole hotel is plastic. They even sold coffee in the lobby only in plastic cups. This so-called "four-star hotel" only has the rates of a "four-star hotel," but it's actually an ordinary motel that you find on highways for $50 a night: no service, no glasses, no silverware. The air conditioning made an unbearable noise at night, like an industrial machine. We could not sleep. Although Booking.com promised us a high floor with a beautiful view, the hotel said, "No ma'am, no high floor for you," even though we paid $200 a night and the Booking.com receipt explicitly said we were supposed to get a high floor. We also had to pay an additional $25 per night for parking. When we asked if we could leave our car in the hotel parking lot for an extra hour to get breakfast in the morning, we were told, "When you check out, get your car out." This hotel is a nightmare. The staff member had no clue about anything and was very arrogant and rude. The only thing the person at the front desk did was look at her smartphone. Terrible!

We recommend that Booking.com be more honest in its advertising and not sell us a lemon at the price of a four-star hotel. We have lost all trust in Booking.com.

Verdadero caos
Pros:

Nada

Cons:

No lo recomendaría en absoluto, primera vez que voy a un hotel que no tenía parqueo, es algo inaceptable, después de más de una hora buscando parqueo casi nos tenemos que ir, tuvimos q parquear en la entrada del hotel corriendo el riesgo que la grúa nos llevará el carro, deben de poner que no ay ningun parqueo disponible del hotel, solo los parqueos que están en la calle

Staff were extremely helpful at check in. Used it for the football. Great aircon, much needed. Would stay again…
Pros:

Great location. Very comfortable, with a pleasant view…

Cons:

Nothing. It’s not cheap, but you pay for quality…

Disappointed, uncomfortable, no attention to detail…would not stay again.
Pros:

Location and pics online, plus the suite

Cons:

Room was poorly thought out. Second bed can’t see the tv where they mounted it. The furniture, all of it, is so uncomfortable.
