Nicely styled and clean boutique hotel. We opted for a room with a fountain view and it was worth it to have the balcony and the view of the large pond. The fountains in the pond resulted in a splashing water noise, which almost served like a white noise after a while. We slept with the door cracked the first night, but closed it the next night as it could be quite loud. The room was clean and the styling was up to date. Unique amenities included terry cloth robes, a bathroom scale, a fridge (which was left empty for guest use, no items for purchase were stored there), wine glasses and optional red/white wines ($16/bottle), and a pelican plushie which could be purchased.
The pillows were medium firm, a heavy pillow but some squish to them. The bed was unfortunately not very comfortable. There wasn't a divot in it from past sleepers but it was a spring mattress without any plush layers. It seemed like it was cheaply made.
Breakfast was continental: toast, fruit, donuts, waffles, pancakes, yogurt, cereal. They had a live guitarist which was nice for the ambiance.
The hotel is next door to a shopping center with a grocery store and a CVS. This was handy for picking up some wine, cheese and crackers to enjoy in the room. The strip mall also includes an absolutely fantastic Japanese restaurant (Namba) which serves sushi and ramen. There is an Italian restaurant as well which only opens for dinner. Our experience at the Italian restaurant was poor. Service was extremely slow after we were seated, the waiter seemed to brush off questions by speaking Italian, and the food and wine wasn't worthy of the hefty price tag.
The public beach is very close, they provide a shuttle, but one could easily walk if they didn't want to use the complimentary chairs/umbrellas. It is also a very short drive to restaurants and shopping at Mercado. However, it is drive (~15 min or so) to get downtown (5th avenue).
