First Group Riviera Suites

The hotel is in a wonderful location, right across from the beach, and a bus stop for both the Municipal bus and the City Tour bus. We stayed in a Studio Suite, which had a full kitchen with a bar/counter facing the seating area, a tup/shower in the bathroom, and a king-size bed in the bedroom with fine linens and big feather pillows. We had a view of the ocean from our balcony, cross ventilation, and ceiling fans, which we did not need to use. The cleaning staff made everyting tidy and did our dishes. We were so comfortable there, we stayed three more nights!

The hotel is under renovation, getting better every day. The one cautionary point is that there was a small closet behind the door that had a severe mildew problem that could be a problem for someone with allergies to mold. The cleaning staff did try to treat it with cleanser, but ultimately it needs to be removed or sealed off to eliminate the problem.
