The laundry facilities were convenient, and the sea breeze on the balcony was beautiful, unless the door remained open no sea breeze in the room. The pool was family-friendly and clean. The staff were very polite, helpful and professional, and supplied us with the requested items. Highly recommend ...

Great rooms, very clean. Only issue was that the walls/roof were not soundproof so I heard the neighbouring room talking until late when I was trying to sleep

Great spot just off the freeway. Rooms were nice a neat with modern bathroom. Parking right out the front of the room. Staff were awesome. We were running later than expected and they made arrangements for a late check.
