    Clean room and free breakfast. Located very close to the beach and CSUMB. There are a lot of dining options in the immediate area.

    Our tour brought us here and it is a nice hotel near HWY. it is not close to anything though. Room is spacious, clean and toilet is big too. The only thing i don't like the bathroom is the shower, if they can add hand hold shower head, will be good. they have included breakfast and i found not bad at all. Hot food is not much choice but there are many things to eat. there is free coffee and tea table. very nice !

    I booked this hotel for one night using rewards points I'd earned, so it came at no monetary cost. However, after staying here, I definitely would have paid to stay in this location. I was pleasantly surprised at every turn; not sure why this place only has 3.8 stars. Staff were friendly and accommodating, and breakfast was awesome. Room was very clean and well decorated, and the bathroom was large and modern-feeling. My wife and I only stayed here for one night, but we absolutely would have extended our stay if needed. A great option for a more affordable hotel in this area. The location itself isn't the best (mostly given the proximity to Walmart and other businesses) but the fact that it's so close to the beach totally makes up for it. I would definitely stay here again.
