I enjoyed our trip here. It was close to where we wanted to be and the area has great free transportation with the trolleys. So we were able to leave our car parked in the hotel and not have to hassle with finding a parking spot. My only complaint would be that the sink in outside the bathroom was spitting out the water and making a mess. Other than that we enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again.

Arrived and door was ajar. Room was dirty and clearly being used. Front office was closed, staff was hard to get a hold of. I ended up leaving. It's unfortunate, because the hotel was conveniently located.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Hotel facade is so beach and cute, cheaper than many other hotels in the area. Dining and freeway make it easy. Beds were fine. Floor was literally falling apart in the room. Corners glued back on dresser. Tub not the greatest looking but appeared “clean”. Toilet paper holder etc pulling out of walls. Needs a lot of maintenance. Other room we had there for more family was the opposite. The floors were fine but the beds were terrible. Missing the TV on the wall. Potential but needs so much work.
