The Aqua Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great service. Very clean!"

Best Western Plus All Suites Inn

8/10 Good

"Felt safe inside and the buffet breakfast was good. Parking $16.50 per night. My only complaint is the room smelled a little like dog / some animal. If you didn’t air the room out with the window or AC, the smell was pretty noticeable. I would still stay here again though. It is overall a nice hotel and even though we were in a room just steps away from the breakfast on the 1st floor, we couldn’t hear all the people talking outside which was nice."
