The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable, plenty of towels. The Tiki Bar was a nice place to relax with a beer after a day of work. My only complaint is nothing the owners can fix: location. Being next to an airport, sometimes early in the AM a jet comes by the runway nearest the hotel and got loud enough to wake me up.
