California Suites Hotel
Loved everything about this hotel -- but they need to repave the parking area. Potholes, etc.

Best Western Seven Seas
For the pricing the place was fantastic. Staff was attentive and friendly, the hot tubs and pool were active and the place was well kept. The beds aren’t super comfortable, and the bedding is thin, but definitely a minor complaint for the pleasant stay I had.
