This was one of ten places we stayed at during our RT66 adventure. The staff & location were the big positives. You could step out the door & immediately start entering shops, restaurants, The Pier... Great location. The valet parking was also appreciated.

The room was very clean and comfortable. The shower water temperature was a little inconsistent, and the air conditioner cooled the room quickly but was a bit noisy. Overall, it was a good stay and I was satisfied with the experience.

The location was fantastic, staff were great. The only negative point was the condition of the carpets which looked like they haven’t been changed in 20 years. A small point and we would definitely stay there again.
