It was a nice stay and we would come back again. I wish they offered a microwave and the fridge was loud but overall a nice trip.

Very decent place, comfortable bed and clean room. The shower has a tub/sliding glass doors that’s kind of a pain but otherwise fine. At least 100 channels on the TV, everyone with commercials…like most of the other hotels. Location is good, safe parking, and a few blocks away a beautiful view of the ocean.
