Location is ok, definitely overpriced
Spent 5 nights at this hotel for a conference and although the location is attractive, we had a rather ugly view over a parking lot which I guess we could have avoided paying an extra. However, the discounted rate for our group was already way too high for the service provided. In a hotel charging at least 259 dollars per night, everything should be spotless clean and it was not the case with us. In fact, we had to call guest services and ask for a second round of cleaning as the bathroom floor still had bits of grass that had come off our shoes the night before. This level of service would be unacceptable in any hotel, let alone one that is so pricey. The aircon fan died on us on the second day, but we never got around to telling the hotel, so it was not their fault that it was not fixed. Being on the waterfront can be pleasant especially for people who like a power walk or run by the sea, but otherwise it is not very convenient for restaurants or shopping as the nearest area for that is the Gaslamp quarter, about a 15-20 minutes wall away.
