I chose this hotel for the gym and bus route location. However, the bus routes had changed, making the walk to the bus stop a little longer than anticipated. Once the new light rail opens up, there will be a stop near the hotel. The gym had plenty of cardio machines, but weight training was limited to three machines. Other hotels in the area have USB charging ports for electronics which are useful for international travelers, this hotel lacked those.
On the positive side, the facilities and rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable. It is surrounded by restaurants and is located rather close to the wharf and beaches. There are two grocery stores within walking distance. It has everything you need for longer stays, i.e. washer and dryer, dishwasher, stove, oven, and microwave.
