We had a lovely time at this hotel. It was worth the upgrade to an oceanfront room and we got to see dolphins out in the bay from our balcony.

The partial Oceanview room was excellent, with the surf breaking 3 stories below. Parking was inconvenient and cost another $25 not included in the Expedia charge, and there was an additional "incidental" $25 charge adding up to $54 with tax over what I thought I would be paying. When I went down in the morning to the bar and tried to sit at a table with a view right next door, a waitress rudely moved my stuff and told me that if I was ordering from the bar I had to sit at the bar instead. There were other empty tables so I thought it unnecessary. It also ruined the mood. If I want to be treated like sh*t I would stay in Haole-land where it is expected. Adding the extra $30 or so it would have cost to order from the menu, that comes up to an additional $84 to enjoy what was advertised. Great location and view but their nickel and diming and one rude staff person with a mercenary attitude makes it very unlikely I would ever go back.
