Close to the beach, stores, and food! Everything that you need is within walking distance. The building is staffed 24/7 with nice security and people. There is complementary water available in the lobby which is great after coming in from a long walk. The rooftop patio is quiet and has great views of the beach/ocean and the mountains. Really budget friendly. We wanted to note the presence of cockroaches (we saw and killed 2 baby ones in the bathroom) which was unfortunate. Other than that, it was great!
