Karen, LaPerouse was on my list, too. We went by and I peeked in, gorgous! It is towards the pier area, right across from the ocean also. I believe most rooms look out onto the Promenade and sea. It wasn't really in the midst of things, which is why I didn't choose it this year. Both John and I prefer location over the actual hotel. We enjoyed being so close to the flower market and the cafes, etc. But, check it out, also, maybe the Le Meridian???
