Excellent stay.

I had a great stay here. I really liked the clean, modern aesthetic of the hotel. My room was VERY spacious, light and airy, with a little peek a boo ocean view. The layout of the room was great, and the extra details in the closet were a plus. I had some online work to tend to while I was there, and appreciated the consistent, strong internet. The TV channel line up was great, too-stuff you'd actually want to watch, (and a Netflix link if you have a subscription.)The staff are very friendly and helpful. I'd absolutely stay here again.
