Hotel Grand Pacific
Enjoyed the GP again, especially the convenience of the location and access to the fitness facility. Floors are a bit creaky, which is a bit surprising for newer construction, but the staff were helpful in addressing a noise concern.

Very helpful staff, nice location. Could use some upgrading with the amenities. It's 2025, there should be a smart TV.
