My hotel stay with my family was just an ok experience. When we first arrived at the front desk we were not greeted by the front desk gentleman and he was talking to what appeared to be the manager neither acknowledged my family or I as we stood there watching them talk for a couple minutes. The room was spacious but looked a little run down. Especially the bathroom/ shower looks to have the beginning stages of mold on the ceiling from not being properly ventilated. Overall the room had plenty of towels and space to accommodate a family of 5.

This hotel is very convenient if you are visiting Sea World! Plenty of parking spaces available and overflow spots as well. My kids loved the pancake maker and there was a nice variety of breakfast items. We stayed at 3 different hotels in California and this was the only one with a heated pool which was perfect for he “June Gloom” weather.

This property is a hidden gem. The front desk staff is extremely helpful and the breakfast is great. The only thing is that the swimming pool is a bit awkwardly placed on the property. Nothing wrong, and our family had a great time. It is extremely close to Sea World, major attractions. Definitely recommend this place for families
