Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was excellent, right next to the beach and with easy access to local attractions; however, the noise from the freeway was a bit bothersome. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped but could have been cleaner.
Wow, this hotel is truly a gem! The rooms are simply outstanding, like a cozy little apartment. It's impressive, and the best part is that all this extra space doesn't cost a penny. However, I have to admit, the temperature inside was a bit too warm for my liking.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, although lacking an ocean view and having a mix of outdated and modern elements, was equipped for families with Murphy beds. However, the unpreparedness with no linens on the bed was disappointing. The service ranged from rude and unhelpful to over-the-top welcoming. The location was excellent, providing access to the beach, restaurants, and shopping; although the lack of adult swim time and crowded kids' pool affected the experience. The dining options were a mix of delicious but pricey meals. Despite some drawbacks, the beautiful facilities added to the overall experience.
