I was a regular customer of this hotel from 2015-2019 when it was under Best Western. I always stayed here because the price was great, rooms were good and spacious with a sitting area and very comfortable beds. The location may not be on the the beach, but it is on the Peninsula equidistant from all the places I needed to go. It is also easy walking distance from good restaurants and a small grocery. This was my first stay since the pandemic, and it seems to be under new management and no longer franchised. However, I think the hotel has made some modest improvements. The lobby and restaurant have been nicely reconfigured. They are keeping the corridor doors closed which is keeping the common areas cooler. Looks like they revived the long dormant fitness room. Sitting furniture in the rooms have been replaced- same style, just new. During my stay, handymen seemed to be busy with lighting maintainence and repairs. Cleanliness and staff were good. As long as the price stays down, it is still my favorite place for short business trips.

Good for the most part

I will say that overall I would go back. I did not do breakfast, I'm not a breakfast person and hate waking up early. I also did not eat at the restaurant as there are so many restaurants nearby that I did not have time to eat at the hotel, I did on my last night order a vanilla milkshake but was made aware there was no more vanilla ice cream. Speaking of things nearby this location was perfect. My friend recommended that I stay in that area. The rooms are big and nice. The tv did not work I found this out on my last night as I got in early on Sunday and wanted to lay around. On my 1st day walking into the room there was what appeared to be a bloodstain on the comforter, but this was quickly changed, there was also a leak from the fridge but after the floor was mopped it did not leak, I assume the ice in the fridge melted due to the room not being occupied. The staff was so nice and anything I asked for I got. If I had to complain about anything I would say the couches in the room were dated and needed a deep clean but were still useable. Overall I would definitely stay again!
