Hi nuttysam
sorry to disappoint but the hotel abrat is not in the bay but just north of the town around the sunset strip area...you probably know this already however.
have stayed in the same area before and can only comment on the location which is really good as next to all the sunset bars and about 15 mins walk to the town.
Escapades (18-30 holiday company) sell holidays at this hotel due to its proximity to the west end, however i know youare going in October? (from a previous post of yours) so you shouldnt be bothered by noise at that time of year
have you seen this link which is the hotels own website
