"The room is very small and is at the top of a building filled with other businesses. So there is usually a long wait for the elevator. On the plus side, the bed was comfortable and the air/heat worked very well. The location was very nice and within walking distance of most places."

"The room was very clean and spacious. Finding a room able to support four was great! The room had a kitchen area with a decent sized fridge/freezer, microwave, and a water purifier that dispensed hot water as well for morning coffee. The patio had a foot bath area with a great view of the bridge. The hotel is located on the 15th floor of a building comprised of other hotels on several other floors. Was a great stay overall and located ina very convenient location to the beach (steps away)."
