Mantra Trilogy
"Location was convenient and walkable to restaurants, coastal walk, and marina. Rooms were generic, not noteworthy. We were on the third floor. Perhaps a room on a higher level might have made a bigger difference. Overall, the hotel is feeling a bit old and made for a fine, but unremarkable stay."
