We loved our room- quite spacious and the bathroom as well- double sinks! We also loved the balcony and being able to have coffee out there in the morning as we listened to the sea lions and enjoyed the fresh air. The complimentary breakfast was also lovely- enabled us to have a leisurely morning routine. It's the perfect area if you like to walk to things, local restaurants, etc...
