Staff was very friendly and responsive. Bed was comfortable. Room and bathroom were clean. Lots of breakfast options. Appreciated the coffee/latte machine.
Very clean establishment. Stayed for 3 days, front desk was friendly and helpful! Area is good everything is about a 15-20 minute ride! Would recommend and would stay again!
Great location between downtown and the beach.
The room was clean and comfortable, and the bathroom looked to be remodeled. Only complaint is that the pool was dirty. We decided not to get in the water.

The only problem was the elevators and hallways were always HOT, walking in through the lobby was fine then into the elevator you go. Sweating up to floor 4 the hallways didn’t bring any relief, we kept our room super cold to bring us to a comfortable temperature.

Disliked: Room comfort
Room headquarters with dirt and old m&M's and them .The AC was extremely loud and would not cool down. The staff was very friendly and attentive we reported that the pool was super cloudy at one point and the maintenance man was able to get right on it we did have an issue at night the blanket was itchy it we asked for another and the night time staff members stated they didn't provide other blankets so needless to say it was an uncomfortable say and very tight room
We were happy with this hotel. It has been extremely hot in the area lately, and our first room was not cooling properly. The staff was very helpful and moved us to a new room. We slept well. Thanks!
We had a wonderful stay. The staff were welcoming and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing.
It was perfect for our short vacation.
