Mixed feelings about this hotel but nice view.
I have rather mixed feelings about this resort hotel. Our check in was efficient and civil rather than freindly. Findings one's way to the room was difficult and we had to ask one of the housekeeping staff and she kindly took us to our room. We walked through lovely gardens but were pleased we had booked a bay front room as it seemed rather dark in some of the garden area rooms and I wondered just how much sun some of the rooms actually got. The room was of a good size, clean with all the facilities we required but the furnishings seemed rather dark, with dark wood furniture and even with the patio windows open still seemed a little gloomy. We had gone into the room and after about 30 minutes we heard our door slam. Went to the back of the room, then the into bathroom to find a maid in there changing a shower curtain - she hadn't even knocked on the door. The best part of the resort is the view (if you have a bayside room). What a lovely location. Sat on the patio and people watched while looking at the beach and bay beyond. We paid almost $260 for one night and this was the only hotel/resort that charged us for parking during the whole of our California trip. $13 for 1 night !!!!! Without the view I would never have paid this much for the room and certainly think that the charge for parking is extotionate.
