The room was nice, being booked thru a 3rd party we got a balcony room but facing electric equipment. But it was late, and we were only there to sleep. The restaurant was out of dessert that's all we went for, oh well. The walk along the bay at night was nice, to see the military base. Shuttle was top notch and on time to the airport.

Beautiful hotel, great customer service from front desk and restaurant personnel. However I did have to talk to the front desk as Expedia promised if I paid extra that breakfast would be included, and the front desk originally only offered 1 free continental breakfast. They were quick to resolve the issue. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. One thing to know is there is a large construction project going on right beside the hotel, so if you were looking forward to relaxing by the pool, expect a lot of noise from next door.

TV guide didn’t work, maintenance guy tried reconnecting some wires, but was then “oh, well.” and then just left. We were too tired to do anything but watch TV that night so it was a little annoying. Other than that the staff was very solicitous. Bellhops in particular were outstanding. Also a little surprised there were no pasta items on the room service menu.
