Fabulous spacious updated room right on the esplanade. The kitchenette had everything we needed, the bathroom was beautifully appointed and the king bed was very comfortable. I was particularly impressed with the two Nordic lounge chairs - a very comfortable luxury. The manager was particularly helpful with great recommendations and helping to arrange things.
