    We had a great stay

    Great location, the patio with tables and chairs was enjoyable. Continental breakfast was also good. The housekeeping staff are very good! The laundry and ice machine was great. Bed and pillows were very comfortable.

    Our room #113 was nice, but some paint was missing from bathroom walls.

    Okay

    The continental breakfast was very nice. And the staff were exceptionally kind, responsive, and informative.

    The lighting in the room was harsh and gave the room an industrial rather than homey feel at night. There was major road construction happening from 7 pm until after 2 am right at the entrance to the hotel parking lot, and so we had to listen to loud crashing machine noise much of the night, which was disturbing and made it difficult to sleep, even with ear plugs. We would have appreciated a heads-up about the road construction noise from the staff when we checked in, and perhaps an adjustment on the room rate given the major incovenience this caused.

    It was an enjoyable stay.

    Nice location. Staff was friendly. Room was clean. Loved the view of the ocean.

    The room was pretty tiny. The bathroom didn’t have any where to put your toiletries. The walls were pretty thin. Could hear the people next door. Kind of outdated.
