- close to freeway - free breakfast (hot, healthy and delicious like eggs, yogurt, scrambled egg, oatmeal, fruits etc) - mini fridge and microwave in room - decent space in room - good parking - closer to sea world - clean room - has elevator - room has tv with cable (for kids) - good value for money
- one of the front desk staff was not so helpful - room cleaning is hassle (need to drop a note everyday to the front desk) - room has noise from running water and footsteps - no sofa in 2 queen bed room (hard to feed kids)

Short staff but everyone in this hotel was doing their best and was very quick. Front desk, cleaning lady, but especially the kitchen team. They should be recognized for what they do. The breakfast room was packed w/ ppl and some foods ran short quickly but they were refilling it fast and they still were kind to fulfill some guests who had particular requests. I know cause I was one of them. The place is a little old but clean. Good for a family on a budget and anyone else. The bed & pillow is super comfortable. The shower & bath water ran strong and hot. The air conditioner was working well (you can control temperature!). Bonus (for me) you are able to open the window for fresh air (because we ate a lot in the room). Don't worry about parking. If you don't mind walking a few steps more they are plenty in the back.
The swimming pool was cloudy... but this was no problem for us because we had a lot of activities planned.

I liked the security of it all (having to use the key card to get in). The quietness, if there were occupants in the adjoining rooms we couldn't tell. The cleanliness. The location was fantastic. Freeway just a few blocks away. Close to the beach.
The room was much smaller than expected. The back parking lot was too small.

After reading the reviews I was skeptical and unsure what to expect. However, it was a comfortable room, clean facilities, the included breakfast was good, and the staff my family and I interacted with were nice. The hotel met our expectations for what we needed. We were not looking for resort style amenities, just a clean, comfortable place to stay as we didn't spend much time in the room.
Nothing.

Nice comfortable room, small heated pool but still nice for a relaxing experience, good breakfast, day staff very helpful
Guy on reception in the evening was a moody sod and advised all parking by the coast was paid only but it wasn’t.

The breakfast was really great!
The handicapped shower was very low if you didn’t want to use the moveable handle.

The breakfast was good. Lots of options. Rooms were just average.
Parking wasn't that great when it was full. It was hard to get in/out. The window blinds only closed part way. A light shined in our room all night making it hard for my kids to go to sleep.

Location, very friendly staff
The elevators and corridor carpets were a little dirty, the mattresses in the room were a little old and not very comfortable, I think $200 per night could be better, book for 6 days.I would arrive again but for a lower price per night.
