Well located near lots of food and shopping options. Rooms are comfy and clean, but look a bit dated. Internet could be a bit faster too. For the price though it's an excellent choice. Staff was very friendly.

I was a regular customer of this hotel from 2015-2019 when it was under Best Western. I always stayed here because the price was great, rooms were good and spacious with a sitting area and very comfortable beds. The location may not be on the the beach, but it is on the Peninsula equidistant from all the places I needed to go. It is also easy walking distance from good restaurants and a small grocery. This was my first stay since the pandemic, and it seems to be under new management and no longer franchised. However, I think the hotel has made some modest improvements. The lobby and restaurant have been nicely reconfigured. They are keeping the corridor doors closed which is keeping the common areas cooler. Looks like they revived the long dormant fitness room. Sitting furniture in the rooms have been replaced- same style, just new. During my stay, handymen seemed to be busy with lighting maintainence and repairs. Cleanliness and staff were good. As long as the price stays down, it is still my favorite place for short business trips.
