Inconsistent TV Services

The hotel was a mixed experience with perfect family-sharing style rooms but with a bad smell issue. The service was friendly and helpful, but the location was a bit far from the beach. The dining was good overall despite not being disclosed as off-site. The facilities were decent.

The hotel is conveniently located near the beach and many restaurants. The rooms were satisfactory, but lacked variety in food options, and the living room with a sofa bed was a nice addition for our friend despite slight humidity. The service had some issues initially but improved, and the location was excellent overall. The dining had both positive and negative aspects, with breakfast served in a conference room due to renovation. The facilities were adequate but not outstanding.

The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious with a pull-out for our oldest child but weren't very clean and had a stuffy feel, improved with the air conditioner. The price was decent. The service was great, and the staff went above and beyond, though there were some issues with housekeeping and noise. The location was convenient despite noise from the freeway and neighbors, close to the beach and airport. The dining was mediocre with low-quality ingredients, but it had standard continental fare. Overall, it's a decent option with room for improvement.
