Stay somewhere away from waterfront - lots of drunk people loud at night
Pros:

Large hotel and pool

Cons:

People partying with EXTREMELY loud music until 3am most nights just outside the hotel, not able to sleep at alll, the hotel do nothing about it. Overall staff were pretty unhelpful whether it be front desk, pool or reception. Rooms are big and great and sleep but whats the point when you cant sleep there!

A good budget priced hotel but beware of noisy Oceanside rooms
Pros:

Good location although this was city view room so views not so good. Less noisy than oceanview rooms due to all the night partying along ocean frontage road

Cons:

Poor selection of western breakfast options

Good location but noise was disappointing as it was hard to sleep complicated by fumes from recently painted doors
Pros:

Location is great with fantastic ocean views

Cons:

Very noisy at night from ocean frontage road and hotels own music. Staff Painted doors to adjacent maintenance room and AC sucked volatile fumes into the bedroom. Too hot to have windows open but had to so bugs came in and bit us. Even noisier with windows open. No equivalent room available so stuck with burning eyes and throat and insect bites for two nights

A nice hotel but be wary of noisy ocean frontage rooms
Pros:

Good location with nice ocean views

Cons:

Very noisy at night due to partying along ocean frontage road and hotels own music.
Lack of western breakfast options. Also had issues with painting of adjacent maintenance room doors and bad kerosene smell from paint volatiles. Had to turn off AC and open windows which let in bugs and increased noise so between insect bites and burning eyes and throat and raucous noise stay was not that pleasant for two nights out of six.
