What was good and what was bad?
Good:
Very well located hotel; nicely refurbished

Older property with some odd design flaws (most bizarre is having to walk through the parking garage to get to the pool)
Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Stayed on points so excellent value - Santa Monica hotels (inc HI) were very expensive at the weekend
