My reaction as in the past was that it's okay, but it just doesn't have the snap and sparkle that the top-tier places do. Some of the units need a little refurbishing, but more than anything it's the intangibles. It just doesn't have the same feel as, say, Banana Beach, Xanadu, Mata Chica or Portofino or some of the other places. I think that part of it is the absentee ownership. Places that are managed by an on-site owner almost always are better run.
