Overall great stay
Nice hotel! Loved the pool and outdoor area. Service was great! The rooms are decorated so nicely. The valet guys at the front door are super polite and helpful. I wasn’t a fan of the food at the restaurant.

Comfy beds!
We had a great stay. The beds were so comfortable - like sleeping in a cloud! The pool was loud but luckily closed fairly early so we could sleep.

Loved this hotel
We loved the roomy bathroom and the decor of the room. The king bed was the best of our 10 day trip. It was very quiet with a great vibe. The frig was fully stocked. We would definitely stay there again.

Nice inside just noisy
It’s a cute retro motel type place with a great view and nice location. Beds were comfortable. The one problem is street noise and thin walls. They do supply earplugs which worked for me but the noise kept my daughter awake. The little restaurant had wonderful tacos and burgers and everyone was super friendly and helpful
