Good hotel, nice view
We were there for a week in November. Our room was large and comfortable. We followed advise and requested a bay room. How lovely! As the sun set, it made the distant foothills glow and during the evening you could see the city sparkle from the balcony. The staff was great and the workout room was good too. There were even bicycles to rent.
We tried 2 of the restaurants in the hotel but the food is only average. This is really just standard hotel fare without any imagination. Go into the city and try some of the fantastic restaurants there! Or walk behind the hotel over to the other tower and even a little farther. There's a really great little marina deli that serves crusty warm sandwiches if you fancy a little quick and very casual meal.
The only thing I would say is to make sure you have transportation. We had convention shuttle service so getting to downtown was easy. If you don't have your own car, you're going to be riding in many taxis - some better than others.
