This hotel is very close to the new Costco Shopping Center, Total Wine, and lots of other businesses and restaurants. It is also not far from beach access and even though there is no view so to speak of, the convenient location makes up for it. The managers are very friendly and cooperative and the room is very clean and smelled fresh.
