The hotel is conveniently located near Treasure Island beach, offering a pleasant stay with friendly service and clean, comfortable rooms. However, the dining options may be limited, and some noise from the nearby traffic could be a drawback.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The location was convenient, close to the beach, but there was a lot of traffic noise. The rooms were spacious and modern, but the air conditioning was not ideal. The breakfast was delicious and made to order, but the gluten-free options were limited. Unfortunately, the price didn't match the overall value received.

I had a wonderful time at this hotel. The location was perfect, right on the beach and close to various dining options. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. The only downside was the limited breakfast choices. The pool area was well-kept and enjoyable. The price was fair, but I wish Wi-Fi was included in the rate.
