We’ve stayed here a few years ago, and loved it. Made a return when in the area for a Stanford visit. For such an expensive hotel, I expect more. The hotel is beautiful, the room is very spacious with a phenomenal ocean view and balcony. But, there are no amenities to speak of. No gym, no pool, no complimentary continental breakfast/evening beverage. The towels are thin. The TP is inferior. Most importantly, the majority of the staff at the front desk are not friendly. I’ve had to go to the front desk a few times during our stay, and other than this evening, have received a very casual response from the employees. Almost as though they do not want to speak to me. This evening, tho, I had to request replacement keys and was graciously greeted and accommodated. She even offered additional water for my frig! (Th. 1/15 at 5-ish p.m.)
