This is the second time I have stayed here. Highly recommend. I stayed on the second floor this time. Room was very clean and bed was comfortable. Wasn't loud ever, even when staying right near the stairwell. All staff I encountered, were lovely. Parking is at $15 a day, but if you choose to do so, they'll just use the deposit made at check-in towards it at the end of your stay. Definitely will come back.

Everything was great, the rooms are a little old and have a strong smell of cleaning products, but you get used to it. Everyone there was very nice, I slept well and had the windows open for fresh air.

This property is a throwback reminding me of traveling on road trips with my family in the 60’s-80’s. That is not a bad thing! It had all the amenities we needed while visiting family in the area. WiFi and TV was reliable, lovely pool and hot tub, on site restaurant had great breakfast fare. There is no free breakfast as with the big name hotel chains. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. We arrived on our cross country flight two hours before check-in but were able to get our room early. Our room was cleaned daily and left spotless. There is a $15/day parking fee if you need to park which was a little unexpected. All in all we felt safe and comfortable throughout our stay. Our only complaint would be its location. Although it is on Hotel Circle that is exactly what it is. A access road filled with hotels which made it necessary for us to drive for anything we needed as far as meals or minor purchases.

We’ve noticed there isn’t a high turnover on staffing. So our experience is always the same wonderful experience and we can always expect staff to be friendly every time we visit.

Great little hotel with a beach vibe. Older gentleman at check in was wonderful and seemed to be able to juggle all of the guests seamlessly. Close to shopping and restaurants. Park in front of room. Good hot water and comfortable bed. Most importantly, when I had to leave at 4am for the airport there was a security guard onsite paying attention to who was coming and going. Safety is obviously a priority here! Will stay again.

Average stay, room smelled like bleach and had a big headache from the smell. Called the front desk and they gave us an air spray to try and get rid of the bleach smell. It took about two hours for the smell to be minimized and I even opened the windows and turned up the AC. Wasn’t a good start to our overnight stay. Bathroom was small and we didn’t like how the sink was so low. Shower was close to the toilet so it was a little inconvenient. There was also no closet. The location is close to fwy and shops which was convenient.

Overall it was a great stay. Staff was very nice and helpful, room was clean but my TV didn't work but I wasnt in the room enough to worry about the TV. The wafflespot was a great breakfast option, the churo waffle is a must if you go. The only negative is having a room on the bottom floor you can hear everything going on upstairs but other than that it's a great place to stay.
