Comfort Inn Sea World Area

10/10 Excellent

"The room was great and it smell wonderful as you enter the room."

Best Western Plus Hacienda Hotel Old Town

10/10 Excellent

"Large clean room. I booked the suite but did not realize it was the President's Suite! The furniture is a bit worn and outdated, but comfortable, so don't change it!. The neighborhood (Old Town) is fun, with shops and restaurants and of course the Old Town park. We could see planes taking off when looking toward the airport, but they were not right overhead and not very noisy. On our next visit we'll hope to stay for more than one night."
