The staff was very good, friendly, and went above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and welcome. A surprise upon check-in was the $25 per day parking fee; I did not see that on the site when making the reservation. Breakfast is good. The location is fantastic. I would stay again.

Staff was very helpful, polite (giving elevator priority to guests, replacing linens, etc.). Breakfast okay, yogurt dispenser a little odd, over sweet product. Small kitchenette counter in room was useful. Lightbulbs in rooms somewhat dim if drapes are closed . Very close and walkable to Doheney State Beach

Staff was excellent, The front desk clerk accommodated my request to move to a room closer to the elevator. The breakfast bar was above average. This hotel is really part hotel, part motel as 2/3 of the rooms have exterior doors. It's within walking distance to the beach and is on the PCH.

Our stay was very comfortable! The room was a great size and exceptionally clean. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful throughout our visit. The amenities were well maintained, and the swimming pool was a lot of fun for the kids. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!
