Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Old property thats been updated. Full kitchen in the rooms. Our room felt empty as there were no chairs or sofa or dining table, i felt like we had enough room for square dancing or something how empty it was, while my kids' room upstairs had chairs to sit and watch tv in and a dining table/chairs. We had a safe in our room if we needed it. Nice pool in center of property. Cereal and fruit for breakfast or bagels. Friendly staff, plenty of parking, which is not the case with a couple other places i stayed at on the same street. Best part was proximity to the beach and the zoo was just across the street and thru the park.
