"The hotel is small, but the location is in the rich area, very comfortable; The staff is also very enthusiastic, but after leaving the store, I was not very happy to charge an extra fee of a few hundred yuan.

"Absolutely wonderful location. The bike / walking path is a minute walk from the hotel, right along the beach. There's a little grocery store about a 5 minute walk up S Milpas St, so convenient. Lots of great places to eat within walking distance (1 mile) or a short drive. I didn't eat at the hotel. The room was clean but toiletries were not replenished, and my dirty glasses were not washed or replaced. For the high price tag, I would have expected that. The air conditioning in the room was great, quiet, and easy to adjust.The front desk team was very friendly and knowledgeable. My favorite people were the Valet team. They were fun to speak with, very down to earth and did their job well. Valet parking is $26.00 / night. I didn't see that price anywhere when I booked."

"This expensive room actually only gives a Queen Size bed, I went to sleep with my mother, I can only add another bed, check out and see more than $75... It’s really drunk... Three thousand One night... It’s really huh... oh, breakfast is OK, the garden is good, the middle of the table can be burned in the middle of the night, but smoking can only go to a corner of the backyard. Anyway, a thousand and ten thousand is no price/performance ratio. The experience that comes out is that it is better to live in a large chain hotel, such as intercontinental and hilton. At least there is a bottom line standard... with inn or forget it..."

The room is small, the facilities are general, and breakfast is not provided. There are still quite a lot of places to eat around, there are supermarket pharmacies. The overall price is high, and the parking fee is $35 a night.
The parking at $40 a night plus tax is too high, but other than that it was a lovely stay. Pool and hot tub were great and a nice relaxing atmosphere by the fires they light at night.

The location is fantastic, right by the beach with beautiful scenery, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. The hotel breakfast is quite good for a US hotel, and the service is very friendly. It was a great experience. My child was very happy to ride a bicycle around in the morning! 🥳
