Quick and easy check in, overall good stay

Stayed for one night only. The check in process was quick and very convenient. The room was clean with a lot of shops nearby. My only issue was with the blinds and the sound of traffic. The blinds dont close fully and the hotel is near a highway. Overall, my stay was good. I would stay there again.

This hotel is very close to the new Costco Shopping Center, Total Wine, and lots of other businesses and restaurants. It is also not far from beach access and even though there is no view so to speak of, the convenient location makes up for it. The managers are very friendly and cooperative and the room is very clean and smelled fresh.
