The staff was friendly and helpful, allowing us to check in about 30 minutes early without an extra charge. The room was clean and spacious and seemed fairly up to date. Even though our room faced the highway, we did not notice a lot of noise. Breakfast what's better than anticipated with plenty of hot and cold choices. The only minor complaint was the first night we were there, the cable TV would lose signal on all channels for random amounts of time and then come back on. Problem was resolved by the second day.

Front desk was very friendly and professional! Breakfast was pretty good - they were very helpful and replenished often. Unfortunately, security was a bit of an issue as the outer doors didn’t lock/unlock properly. So other people would prop the door open. The room was nice but I wish they put a little more into noise reduction. Street and freeway noise was quite high. Walls and doors are very thin so you can hear everyone all the time.

Hotel was perfect for our needs, but beware!

Staff was friendly, helpful and very accommodating. Room was comfortable, A/C blowing cold and plenty of parking. They had breakfast and the room had a fridge, coffee maker and microwave. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay, but beware. This hotel is super close to Sea World and as you might imagine it was filled with families with small children. Children running amuck in the hallways and around the breakfast dining area. Yelling and screaming. Tantrums. Jumping on the beds and it sounding like Wrestlemania. This is not the hotel's fault, but we just needed a little R&R, and the parents of these children were not as responsible as they should have been. If you have little kids and are going to Sea World...you'll fit right in. Everyone else...peace might be difficult.

Our kid loves Seaworld so we booked this hotel based on proximity. It has free breakfast, free parking, a small pool, a small gym, and really hot water. The room was clean, spacious, and quiet. We found a lot of good food near the area like Phil’s bbq, King Crab, and So Good Thai. There’s a massage place right across the street. The area has city vibes and homeless people a few streets down but the hotel seemed pretty safe and we had no issues as we drove everywhere. I would book here again. Thanks for the wonderful stay!
