Good air conditioning, close to beach and Balboa area. Easy codes to get in room. Everything was clean and ready to use. If the large storage area was converted to make the bathroom bigger this place would be a five star small resort room.

Great place for our weekend get away. Enjoyed the ease of parking which can be hard in a coastal town, great price and location nestled between the ocean and bay. Walkable to all the sites, restaurants and stores. Would stay again, as we plan on doing this trip yearly now.
