amazing stay near pleasure beach

great locationhelpful stafffree parking
The location was amazing, especially with the pleasure beach and tram stop so close. the staff were wonderfully helpful. They really were very good . they even decorated the room when they found out it was my daughter's birthday! i also appreciated the free on-site parking. the games room was a nice touch too.
the decor is a little tired but they are slowly doing it up, i think.
