We chose to stay at the Sky Hotel basically because the price fit our budget for the night. The beach hotels wanted $650/night which was ridiculous seeing as we only wanted to sleep! I was concerned as we drove up to the hotel and saw that it was only 2 stories, with basically no big signs telling you where to turn or where to park. The hotel is basically an old motel which was redone very nicely. There is a nice "verandah" type area in the middle of the hotel (which used to be the outside patio for a 2 story motel. It has a nice sitting area with beautiful chandeliers hanging down, and the top is completely covered with nice fabric. I was worried when I walked through the verandah to see that the rooms were all accessible from the stairs/balcony. When we arrived in the room, we were very pleasantly surprised. The room was redone VERY nicely with bright, modern colors. We definitely felt like we were at a "boutique" style hotel. The bed was perhaps the most comfortable bed my husband and I have slept on in a long time, and we travel often. What would have made this hotel a 4 star instead of a 3 star? There was a coffee machine, but no coffee. The towels were too thin/cheap looking and our bath mat was basically a hand towel. The enclave which held the refrigerator needed repainting on the bottom. There was paint chipping off and it made it look old. I would put something on top of the refrigerator to lighten up that area and hide the scratch marks on the refrigerator. Besides that, the room was very clean and the bathroom facilities were new and up to date. The location is great also! Walking distance to the Westside Pavilion. Yes, the walls are a bit thin, but I never heard anything all night (Saturday) because the bed literally kept me asleep!
