The room and the view were great. Service people were very nice. Tv seemed difficult to find non-spanish channels. Parking was poor. For the price I would think a few printed pages from the lobby computer would be free. I did get the printing charges removed, just seems silly there would be one in the first place. Also, a lot of shops have closed down in Balboa, a bit disappointing. Overall a very nice experience there. I would stay again.

The room had poor lighting and felt dingy and dirty. It was not a comfortable room for hanging out in at all. There was no counter in the bathroom, so you couldn't put anything down. The windows had sheer curtains so the sunlight streamed in in the morning. There were noises from the outside until the early hours of the morning. The jets in the bath tub turned off in the middle of the bath. The jets turned on by themselves twice after the bath. Once after we had gone to bed! The only thing this hotel has going for it is it's location. It was certainly not worth the $200 I paid for one night!

The staff worked with me when I had an issue with the rooms. We were moved to very nice rooms. I booked online and the rooms that I booked were not portrayed accurately on the website. I feel it is important to remedy this.

Love the location it was excellent That they don't offer free parking, and the fact that we weren't told of other options of where to park for perhaps stay longer since the parking fee is so high per night

The proximity to the beach and attractions was excellent - within walking distance to everything! This hotel is very old and the rooms reflect that. It needs remodeled badly.

The room was clean and comfortable. The large spa was nice. Street noise after midnight. Rowdy young crowds yelling and generally making noise at the restaurant/bar next door. overpriced hotel parking fee.
