Temperature issue

Liked:Comfy bed, not, clean shower and bathroom.

Disliked:The air conditioner clicked on and off every 15 minutes all night no matter what settings we used. Room was too warm all night. Worked great, tho, as we were leaving.

Liked:Great location. Large parking lot. Close to the ocean with a beautiful view. A gas station and Costco are nearby. Clean room with two comfortable beds. Includes a microwave, refrigerator, and all the essentials. Quiet at night. Thanks to the staff. We will be back. Highly recommended.

Fresh and modern look.

Liked:Room was very clean and modern, and the bed and pillows very comfortable. Check in and check out was super simple.

Disliked:Room has a slight musky smell, but I went nose-blind to it quickly and it didn't bother me. There was also the sound of some strange, rhythmic machinery that began in the early hours of the morning. I was unable to tell if this was coming from something another guest was doing, or some machinery somewhere in the hotel. It was also quite close to a major road, and the traffic could be a little loud at times, but not terrible.
