Consistent Quality near the Beach
helpful staff friendly staff restaurant menu
I found the staff very helpful and friendly. The location suited my travel needs. The hotel provided clean rooms, and that matters a lot. I also appreciated the restaurant menu choices.
I noticed extra tax charges on my bill. I think greater transparency would improve the customer experience.

The hotel offers a dining room. I had multiple meals there and enjoyed the salmon. West Coast Benny with salmon was also available for breakfast. The dining room staff were quick and professional.
Rooms

My room was clean and fresh. It had unassuming decor. Rooms have views of the bay. Other rooms overlook the parking lot. The walls are stained and could use scrubbing.
Facilities

The hotel has underground parking for $25 per day. Common areas are cute. There are small elevators, newly updated. There is no air conditioning in rooms but a ceiling fan is provided.
