It was a restful stay, amazing place. I truly enjoyed the big building of the hotel and incredible location. The superior king room was neat with balcony, microwave and a fridge. The breakfast was great, had a huge variety of options and the food was appetising. Quick check in & the service was fantastic. Workers were genuinely friendly, setting is in 10 minutes' walk to the downtown. The beach nearby was fantastic and the view was gorgeous.
Shame the bathroom was a little small.
Decent location, big bathroom.
Breakfast was free of charge and the view was fantastic. I slept so comfy in the comfortable bed. Brilliant hotel, 10 minutes' walk from the downtown. Plus, it was close enough to washington state convention center. Premier restaurant served vegetarian specialities.
The hotel was impeccably clean & the staff were very nice helpful, the bed was comfortable. A few steps away from the beautiful beach. Rooms were average with required things, like climate control, TV with HBO and coffee. The staff did all they can for an outstanding stay.
