Alexa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great for one night stay

The hotel is very close to city center, the staff is very nice and the room spacious. The mattress was a little too hard and the shower door was not fully closing, other than that this was perfect for one night.

Margaret, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

There were a lot of bad smells coming from the ac unit. Rooms are tiny. No closet or dresser. No extra linens. Next to freeway so extremely noisy. Water didn't drain in sink well. I guess some people are satisfied with these standards however, for your health and safety, I would stay away from this hotel.
doris, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The cleanliness of the room and the ocean view.
SUSANA, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was very comfortable. The only thing I wish we had was the space to hang our clothes and maybe a microwave in the room would’ve been very helpful. Other than that, it was a great experience
