Just a quick note to the lack of view mentioned earlier.

If you can get the 5th floor, northwest corner room, is has a very large patio AND a spectacular view! Sure there is a building off to the left, but from this room it is minor and the view includes the beach, the entire Santa Monica Pier (maybe 300 yards away) and beach all the way up past Malibu.

I was given this room as a Platinum without any special request.
