Some photos of the great views from our (rather dirty) hotel windows. We had a view over the whole city, and a partial view of the ocean, since our room was so large. But the city's not particularly attractive from this distance, so a full ocean view would definitely have been preferable. Actually that reminds me of another slight negative. The hotel is the anchor for the redevelopment of the old port, that took place in connection with revamping the city for the Olympics. That makes it the only hotel on the beach, but it also means it's a bit far from the rest of the city. It's probably only a fifteen minute walk to most places, but it's a very depressing walk, involving running across eight lane highways and tramping over abandoned lots. The wasteland between the hotel and the city has probably been developed by now, but if not, you may want to opt for something more central, or rely on taxis.
