The location of this hotel is "interesting" as it is across the street from the "football" (soccer) stadium. My Mother and I visited in early October 2004 and spent 4 nights at this hotel. We didn't realize that the football game was going to be played there on Sunday and the area was mobbed for 4 hours!!!

Because they were "going to be full," when we checked-in, the hotel gave us a room on the first floor which wasn't ideal. Here we are close to the ocean and wanted to leave the sliding doors open but couldn't as anybody could walk right in!!! The hotel did offer to change our room after the first 2 nights but we had already settled in and it would have been more hassle than it was worth.

The buffet was decent but fairly costly. Fresh fruit, yogurt along with the assortment of meats, cheeses and bread. They always had fresh apples or bananas which was nice. Multiple coffee and juice options.

The hotel staff were extremely helpful and accomodating and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable.

The "fun" part of this hotel were the guests who were occupying the hotel -- the visiting soccer team! My Mother and I enjoyed getting into the small "lifts" with these young handsome guys.
