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.
I found everything at this hotel to be top of the line. I especially enjoy their breakfasts!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Affordable, good soaps and shampoos, both smart TV worked well especially YouTube, AC made the stay comfortable in hot/humid day outside, good breakfast especially fresh waffles with sugar free syrup and variety of coffees and juices!
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.
No available public restroom ( it was locked). $25 parking fee for unsecured outside parking was a bit much. Breakfast was good location was great staff was helpful
We were upgraded to a king suite. Staff extremely helpful. Room was exceptionally clean and the air was on so it was not hot and muggy upon arrival. The bed was so comfortable. There was free parking and breakfast was decent.
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!
