Very clean, comfy bed, cozy blanket, friendly & personable staff, free parking was hit or miss as far as proximity but usually available within a block or two from the facility. I didn't see their breakfast but the kitchen was nice and usually available if you want to cook yourself something for lunch/ dinner. Love that it's a block away from the beach and soo many food & shopping stores.
