Family vacation
I took my grandkids to Mission Beach and SeaWorld. The hotel was located close to both. Check in was a breeze. The room was clean and well kept up. The free breakfast was good and convenient. I would stay again and recommend the hotel

Small but refreshing pool
We were hoping to get something closer to the beach, but it appeared everything was booked so we had to Uber a ride every time we went to the beach, otherwise it seemed like a very good location, easy access and they had a really nice pool and breakfast buffet.

Breakfast was free so that was a bonus but overall a great location for a stop to go and see Seaweed.

Location was great for my purposes. I really appreciate when something is provided for breakfast - it was also a good selection. Staff were quite friendly. And I liked that they had a computer available if needed with MS Office.

Noisy
Room clean & comfortable, but found being on first floor very noisy. People out parting in parking lot late at night- very loud. Also door that people use to enter first floor bangs extremely loudly when used.
