Broken AC system, lukewarm water, very average breakfast buffet with a loooong wait for service. Pool is good. Great location next to freeway, quick to get to aquarium and beaches.

8.4/10 Very Good! (630 reviews)
We have been at many great places and this place was not one of them. We had to go and purchase a Fabreeze to get rid ot the smell from the room. The area in front of our room was under constructions. Hauling our luggage back and forth from the stairs was very inconvenient. No ramps, only stairs to move luggage through at least 50 steps?
