Had a great stay. Loved that my room had a little patio that had a gate that opened directly to the pool with the cabana bar. It was so convenient to be able to be at the pool and be so close to my room! The staff at the restaurant (especially Bobby) and bar were very kind and welcoming.

Decided to give this place a try for my family of four while visiting mission beach. Not too bad of a place we liked it. Pretty convenient to both mission beach & downtown. Lots of places within miles of hotel. Hotel itself could have been a bit updated up we didn’t complain. It doesn’t feel old but it also doesn’t feel new. Had to clean the room a little upon arrival like doors n knobs & most touched areas but that’s me. Remote had old food stuck to it so I had to clean that right away. Sides that it’s a quiet place, safe location. I liked it. Check in easy. Parking easy. I won’t mind staying again.
