    We are still enjoying our visit at this lovely hotel. Feels more like a resort than just a hotel. The staff, including Chris, Ricky, Melanie, Elena, Rosa and Patrick made us feel welcome and they were responsive to all of our needs. We traveled a long distance to attend a wedding and this was not one of the hotels listed on the invitation for guests. I am so glad that I did a little research and found this great hotel in such a convenient location. The breakfast buffet is excellent. The room is spacious and clean. My wife uses the gym and there are lovely grounds to stroll around. Excellent shopping nearby too. And of course right near the beach. Keep up the good work. We will return with pleasure.

    Came here for a weekend getaway for my wife's birthday. Chose this place because of the reviews and perceived value. Things we liked: easy parking, nice location ( just off I5), great breakfast, clean/comfortable rooms, and Patrick at the front desk was very helpful. Things we didn't like: no restaurant/bar, just a little cubicle with snacks for sale, but they do have coffee, juice, and water available throughout the day. There are things beyond the control of the staff - people above you walking around like a herd of elephants all night long; young mothers with toddlers in the room next to yours that cry and scream constantly. We dealt with both of these issues during our stay, and Patrick gave us a room on the 3rd floor away from all the chaos. Overall it is a nice, clean, affordable hotel with very nice staff.
