"Choose this hotel because it was away from the business of the main beach area. Very quiet and pretty clean. Hallways were a bit dark. Also the stairs coming out of the one side are a little steep. But overall would stay again!"

"My wife and I took my 2 toddlers here for a weekend vacation. Check-in was fairly easy, but the room was not ready when we got there. There are enough things to do near the hotel to kill time. When we got our room, we got an ocean view room and it was a great view and great room, with no issues. Room was clean and had every amenity you needed. When we did interact with the staff, they were friendly. Highlight of this hotel is the multiple pools and proximity to the ocean. The indoor and outdoor pools were nice and the children really enjoyed them. Being that the ocean is literally in the backyard, getting to the ocean was super easy. The only issue with the hotel is that there is no parking on sight. You have to park in a large garage, but it's free and relatively close. Overall, I would recommend staying here and would stay here again."

"The location was great! The staff was very friendly and responsive. However, our room was not as I would expect for this brand. The air-conditioner was filthy. Outside and the filters had a thick build up of dust and dirt. I reported it and it was taken care of immediately. But it clearly is never cleaned on the regular basis. The shower was dirty as well. Other then the lack of cleanliness everything ease was fine."
