Wir haben nur eine Nacht im Hotel verbracht und waren insgesamt zufrieden.
Pros:

Die Zimmer waren gross und bequem

Cons:

Als wir ankamen, war die Klimaanlage auf extrem kalt eingestellt. Es gibt keinen Frühstücksraum, man frühstückt in der Lobby.

Overall, we enjoyed our overnight stay. Especially the view from our suite. I would recommend La Quinta-five stars.
Pros:

Free breakfast, friendly and accommodating staff, location, upkeep, a secure parking garage. We were upgraded to a suite with a partial ocean view; a pleasant surprise.

Cons:

Most of the parking spaces in the garage are narrow. We had to unload the car before being able to park the car in a space.

Pros:

Close to the beach.

Cons:

The parking spots in the garage are very tiny. We were lucky to get the last spot to fit our full size SUV. Otherwise I am not sure where we would have parked.
