It was a great experience and value considering it was a high profile weekend in the area during my visit. It’s close to a Costco that allowed for a convenient stop.

A bit far from where all the restaurants and vendors are but I liked the rooms and the view. The service was good but nothing to rave about. I would stay here again. It's a decent hotel.

The rooms are pretty good for the price. Everything was nice. The only thing I disliked was the beach, it's a bit far from the hotel and it's not very nice.
