Very friendly/helpful staff. One lamp didn’t work and they promptly replaced it. Lots of clean towels and toiletries in room. Beds comfortable and rooms good size. TV was high tech. You can tell the place is in process of getting upgraded cosmetically and it looked nice. It was so peaceful, several great restaurants/quick bite places right there, and easy stroll to the ocean. Meis Chinese food is the best I’ve had in awhile. Go there! And take some time to sit on the patio across from the office. The fire pit and furniture made for a cozy respite. We will definitely return.

The staff is not available at night besides by phone. Nothing changed after a noise complaint was made. The walls are really thin.

Unprofessional
When I got to check the lady had to call someone to help me. The she than passed me the phone, man on the other end asked what I needed I explained to check in. He pass the phone back I did. She than had me write my name out. She had me keys an told me my room number. Next morning trying call from room phone an person to change payment method and no one would answer phone or lobby door. We have stayed here before but this time was so unprofessional. The last 2 times we had very nice upgraded this time room was missing all upgrades that prior rooms had. We love this location but after this stay it was probably our last.
