Convenient area. Staff friendly. Special mention of thanks to Lynn and Sergio in Backflips. Awesome people. Only thing could be better is adding a small microwave to the room to at least warm up coffee or the doggie bag of my expensive dinner I could not finish. Also wonder why just one chair and one luggage rack in the room for two people.

As always, the Plunge didn’t disappoint! The staff is always super helpful, especially Suzette at the front desk who has been there a few years and it the absolute best, going above and beyond for guests at check-in, or really helping with anything needed during out stay! The bungalow rooms are my new favorite rooms! The Plunge is always a good idea!
