Second time we stay at this hotel and the kids love it! Good location, good continental breakfast. Had a small issue on the bill and even though I showed the front desk agent what I should have been paying on here, she just brushed it off and said oh well. Other than that, we had a lovely stay

Great location and great jacuzzi. This town is perfect for biking. We have brought our young kids and bikes and we just leave the car and ride bikes to do everything, the beach is so close as are all the restaurants. Small town vibe that is so sweet.

This is your standard Hilton Express, easy check, clean comfortable rooms and basic amenities for a short stay. The area is a bit noisy because freeway is close, but did not disturb my sleep.
