It was our second time there. My son loves the pool and minigolf and there is a lot to do with kids. Also the bus shuttle to the beach is great. People were really nice and we could check-in earlier.

“Great stay with children!”
Great location away from the strip with everything you need in one place. They have children’s/teen events and activities, shuttle downtown, and a catch & release fishing pond on the property. Keep in mind that I have been visiting OC for 44 years, and I have always passed by this property because it looks old from the street. It definitely is an old property that has been updated a few times, but I am more than happy that we gave it a change and will be back!!!
