Horrible service!

Cancel my reservation just two day before the supposed check-in day. All I received was just a "sorry" while I have to coordinate for many people in the family to come here for my graduation. At least, I expect some types of compensation for the extra fee (and hassle) that I have to pay when booking for another hotel just days in advance (which I actually did several weeks ago with Coral Reef).

Nice room with a REALLY dirty floor.

Its an older hotel, but the rooms and grounds are nice except for the floor. The linens and towels were clean, no bugs, reasonably clean room except the floor turned our feet black and the bathroom floor smelled like urine when it got wet from the shower. The pool was clean, but it was very cold. No thermometer but I would guess low 70's. My kids will swim in pretty cold water, and they couldn't stay in very long. It was also nice to have the little kitchen. Bring your own dishes and utensils. Microwave, stove, and fridge with a freezer. It's close to a little beach on the bay, and the mall and other shopping is also right across the street. Couldn't beat the price for the Bay Area. Best of all was Phillip at the front desk. There was a mistake made with the reservation from an on-line travel site. Phillip got on the phone himself and handled it. He was very helpful and friendly.

Weekend stay

If you are a light sleeper ask for a room away from the bowling alley. Other than that the room was great for the price, everything was clean and the staff was awesome! It's across the street from everything you need; restaurants, grocery store, walgreens and 1/2 block to a beautiful quiet peaceful beach :)

clean n cozy

The suite we were in was older but super clean and cozy! Love the privacy of the bedroom. Also private entrance is a plus! Staff was helpful and accomadating. Walking distance to the lagoon and to shopping and eating. Great value for what you get. The only thing id change was the breakfast. Very few choices. We would stay here again!

Not exactly on the water, but.....

The hotel is located around the corner from the beach, across the street from a shopping mall. The hallway to the room had a funny odor, but the room was spacious and very clean. It even had a stove and refridgerator but no pans or silverware or dishes. I bought a delicious cupcake from a food truck that was parked in front of the hotel, and enjoyed eating my dinner from a restaurant at the mall comfortably in my room.
