Not up to standards
Pros:

We booked the top-floor corner suite for three nights and spent approximately $3,000, plus an additional $150 for the birthday package as a surprise for my fiancée.

When we arrived, none of the birthday amenities that were purchased—balloons, decorations, chocolates, or anything else—were in the room. The surprise was the main reason I purchased the package.

I called the front desk immediately. I was simply told the concierge was responsible and had already gone home. There was no apology, no effort to resolve it that evening, and no attempt to make things right beyond agreeing to cancel and refund the package.

While the room itself was acceptable, it did not feel exceptional for the price paid. Combined with the complete failure to deliver a prepaid birthday package and the lack of customer service, this was a disappointing experience. Unfortunately, I would not choose this hotel again or recommend it

Excellent location, service needs some improvement.
Pros:

Stayed as a family of 4 for 4 nights in July. Really good location just seaside the bay and very accessible for lots of nearby attractions, 3 minute walk to the midway (highly recommended), 10/15 min walk to little Italy which has lovely restaurants and short walk to seaport village along the bay which is lovely. The hotel itself is clean and rooms are spacious enough for a family. However, the service isn't brilliant. It's fine but not as attentive as other hotels we have stayed in in California and restaurant service for breakfast can often be a bit chaotic. The breakfast isn't included and is expensive and not particularly good, so would recommend going out for breakfast. The pool area is nice but very small for the size of the hotel and the amount of guests so can often get extremely busy. Not a hugely relaxing experience when there's more than a couple of guests as it just gets too chaotic. All in all, would recommend for location alone but it's pricey for what it offers.

Gorgeous view but lukewarm service
Pros:

For a hotel like this, I would have expected better service, or at least staff who showed a bit more enthusiasm when checking us in. It was the most rushed and impersonal checkin process I’ve had and I could barely understand the instructions. I had ask for the comp beverages on my own as a Platinum Elite member and my questions were only answered with haste and annoyance.

The room was nice, clean, with a good view. The hotel itself was fine, bar staff was nice as well. But service upon arrival and via text were disappointing . I’d dock another point but that just wouldn’t be fair for the staff members who were working hard and were welcoming.
