One of our favorite destinations
I’ve stayed here at least a dozen times. We came here throughout the years as a kid. The hotel is great and the location is even better. The on site restaurants are good and there are a ton of options within walking distance. We did see several homeless people but we still felt comfortable walking around at night. We look forward to our next trip.
