nice and clean

I stayed for 4 nights for a work trip. It was very quiet with a good work space in the room. There were good quality clean linens on the bed,(both under and over the blankets). The staff were friendly and helpful. Parking in the garage is an extra $7, but I was able to park on the street right in front of the lobby for free every night but one. I will stay there again.

Reality

*Valet service for parking car is okay--but should be optional. *The carpet has not been upgraded and it looks it. *Location is great--staff friendly. *One day, they missed cleaning the room. *Generally, the facility looks to need maintenance in all areas--pool,carpet, bathroom & showers, walls and pictures. *Noise from outside is prevalent, as is noise from halls and adjoining rooms. *Nice place, but it looks worn out.

Good Location, low level

Was very well located, close to the beach, but the rooms are very old and poor quality.
