Nothing beats the view over the golf course to the ocean and listening to the waves. The room was spacious and clean. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Parking is easy and the location is fantastic.... only a short walk to so many things - stadium, beach, restaurants, supermarkets. Fabulous place to call home for a few days.
