The property is located near Hotel del Coranado surrounded by nice restaurants, coffee shops, bike rentals, shopping. This hotel is quirky, a little tired, feels a little like being in Mexico.

Another great stay at the best place on the island! We got our requested room (thank you Daniel) which is the one we’ve stayed in during our 10 stays at the property. We stay in back where it’s quiet and close to the parking garage. We love this place for its convenience to the beach, dining and shopping. Clean comfy rooms with a great rate-we’ve already made a reservation for October.

Our room appeared to be recently updated and was quiet. I would note that some of the suites require climbing stairs which was not a problem for us but guest should be aware. The hotel is near lots of restaurants within walking distance. And there is a Mexican one onsite that is excellent. I would love to stay here again!
