We stayed at Sun Tower a few years back, and were very happy to witness that this hotel got even better. We booked the suite, which is highly recommended for families with small children - there is a microwave, a fridge, and a small kitchen with utensils and plates. You can dine at the Sandbar downstairs (nice food), or get your food from SuperTarget or Whole Foods, both of which are fairly close (under 10 minutes drive). The rooms are renovated, and look very neat - our impression from the last time was that they were a tad dated. The staff is helpful and personable all the way, can't thank them enough. The nice thing is that there is no more worries about getting the parking spot (still free) - you can double park and leave your keys at the front desk. The ocean is still at your doorstep, and you can relax at the balcony once the kids are asleep - not a whole lot of hotels have balconies anymore. The beach chairs and towels are free. Wi-Fi access is for a fee, but we did not purchase it, so can't say how well it works. We will be back definitely.
