This hotel once housed former naval staff and is across the street from the entrance to the naval base. They obviously had much smaller beds back then. Our room had a balcony but there was a two-tiered French door system to get to it, with an inner set of doors as well as an outer set of doors. The awkward part was that the doors could not open fully, given the position of the bed, so it was like a geometry puzzle every time you wanted to get out there.||Another odd quirk: the toilet was in its own WC with a motion-activated light. This was blinding in the middle of the night and was even more-disturbing when it failed to go off for the remainder of the night. This required a visit from maintenance the next ay to fix.||Comfortable bed and pillows, convenient location, with a wonderful courtyard piazza right out the hotel back door with a large assortment of restaurants and outdoor dining options. It was also across the street from the naval museum, and the popular pier and all of its excellent restaurants.||A special call-out to Romaine, one of the dining staff. My wife had a foot that had swollen up from too much walking. When I explained the situation to Romaine, she not only provided ice and towels in a high hat, she unhesitatingly reached under the counter and grabbed her own bottle of Arnica cream and added it to the pile. I gaped at her, not fully understanding, so she explained that this was something she used for foot pain. I was astonished at her generosity. It is one thing to provide some ice. It is an entirely-different act to give up one’s own medical supply of pain relief for a hotel guest! This was an act of compassion and kindness that I will remember for a very long time.
