Our room number 208 was tucked back behind the other units so was quite dark and cold as the sun went down before the light came around to our unit. We had to sleep with a heater on 21 degrees as without it on, our room was very cold. We were unable to see the sunset, because of the positioning of our room and that was one of the reasons for coming to the West Coast. We stayed 2 nights and after the first night they took away our towels and we had to request another set. They did bring them to us within 30 mins of our request. The restaurant food was good and the service was great. We enjoyed our stay but would certainly request that we aren't in that room again.
