Summary: We loved the location. Having the park in space was nice. No need to find street parking. The street is busy but if you love the option of popping out the front door and grabbing coffee, dinner or a pizza to take back this location is perfect!! Or skip across the street and rent bikes for a bike ride along the ocean. While staying here be sure to grab coffee and Aldar and Sage and enjoy dinner along 4th street.
