Awesome hotel. All the staff were very nice and welcoming. Full breakfast was exceptional. Eggs every day, sausage one day, biscuits and sausage gravey next day, some egg whites with tomato and basil, 3 kinds of cereal, oatmeal and 2 waffle makers and 2 toasters. Yogurt, milk , chocolate milk, bread, bagels, English muffins etc. SO MANY CHOICES! Pool is heated and gym was very clean and included Weights, treadmill, Elecpticals and bikes. Room was like a studio apartment with full size fridge, all needed cooking utensils, stove, microwave and even had dish soap (very thoughtful). No bathtub for toddlers, but easy if you're child showers sometimes. With traffic about 1 hr. From Universal Studios and 10 Minuts to the beach. If you forgot to bring something Target is literally a 5 min WALK. Manhatten beach is clean and had lots of parking relatively close to the water. My personal recommendation is that my visit would be highly Recommend.
