The staff was extremely accommodating, especially when I mentioned I had heard about the property on LL. The front desk person suggested we look at one of their suites, even though we were not going to spend the evening. The furnishing area little out of the ordinary, but the suite was huge and had a lovely view of the Pacific.
We decided totake a short break at the Ocean Lounge and enjoy a glass of wine by the roaring fireplace next to the swimming pool. Lovely environment.
I would not consider paying their rack rate for a suite, but getting a bargain here on LL might be the way to go on my next visit to the area.
This is a "THUMBS UP" property in my opinion!
