A woman from Sea Lion called me in advance of my stay, greatly accommodating my extremely late arrival. That seems a a rarity these days but it was greatly appreciated.

Good place to stay

Our room was good but I found the front desk clerk to be a bit rude. She was preoccupied with the rules do not smoke etc (which I never would do as I hate cigarette smoke and I do not smoke). She could have been more welcoming.

Overnight

Great property, close to downtown and beaches, staff super friendly. Pool clean. Rooms very clean, beds comfortable. Only complaint would be that the air conditioning needs to be cleaned/upgraded, it gave off a very musty odor, so we had to turn it off which made the room warm.
