Parts of the hotel is under construction. There was constant drilling in the room above me.
I have stayed at this hotel a couple times and have enjoyed this property and all of its great amenities
and close proximity to town and the beach.
The room was clean, the breakfast was great. There was construction going on in the building that caused a couple inconveniences like the hot water or elevators which was understandable but overall was a great place to stay for a few nights. Id definitely go back.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
Too close to the freeway and poor sound proofing. Staff was courteous. But for the price this was a poor offering.
Spotlessly clean room with everything you needed for a comfortable stay.
Pool area nice with table and chairs and sun loungers.
Staff very helpful
Nice buffet breakfast with good selection of food.
Would definitely recommend
Hot tub was awesome, super Hot! Pool is nice, a little small but works.
Room was nice and spacious and bathroom was a bit dim, and there were ants in the bathroom and the room was a bit warm, but overall, it was a great stay! Great breakfast, a good variety of foods! Staff was super nice and friendly. Walkable distance to shopping, the most beautiful and clean beach in the area, a park. Great area!
