The property is located near Hotel del Coranado surrounded by nice restaurants, coffee shops, bike rentals, shopping. This hotel is quirky, a little tired, feels a little like being in Mexico.

Another great stay at the best place on the island! We got our requested room (thank you Daniel) which is the one we’ve stayed in during our 10 stays at the property. We stay in back where it’s quiet and close to the parking garage. We love this place for its convenience to the beach, dining and shopping. Clean comfy rooms with a great rate-we’ve already made a reservation for October.

Great location - in the mix of several shops and restaurants and short walk to the beach. Nicely renovated, comfortable rooms. Staff was great. Worked hard on the upkeep of the common areas, court yard, pool. Parking was the only headache, if you don’t want to pay for the public garage. You can park at the beach for free during the day and in the residential area off of the hotel at night. Overall it was a great stay for my family. Would stay again.
