California Suites Hotel

California Suites Hotel

8/10 Good
"At first look I was not overly thrilled but once we settled in our stay for the price was very nice. If youโ€™re looking for an affordable hotel thatโ€™s clean this is your place. The hotel is a little on the older side but itโ€™s clean and they take care of the property. My kids enjoyed swimming everyday in the pool, which was also clean. There are restaurants and shopping close by. A great brewery/restaurant a few feet from the property that you can walk to. They offered free ice cream, coffee and tea in the lobby."

Being on a marina the views are amazing especially the stunning sunsets. You can rent bikes , kayaks and jet skis for a fee. The pools were refreshing. The rooms were very clean and they replenished the towels each day. Some say the rooms are outdated a bit but didnโ€™t bother us. Youโ€™re on vacation, in the rooms to sleep. Our king size bed and the pillows were comfy . They have a free shuttle that took us to SeaWorld and backโ€ฆ.that was cool. We loved our stay and had no complaints. We will be back again."
