The hotel's location is convenient. It is within walking distance to the beach. ABC convenience stores are also nearby. The staff were friendly and helpful.
The valet parking is expensive , at $60 per day. There are no signs displaying this pricing. The hotel does not offer regular parking options. The pool area looked old and poorly maintained.
