Place in great location. Room very nice with a partial ocean view, but please clean the windows so one can enjoy it. Appreciate the extra towels already being in the room. BONUS- EAT at Cambria Cafe. Best breakfast burrito I have had in a long time with fresh salsa!

Location was good but a King deluxe ocean view was partially blocked with a tall bush. You could see scum on the pools tile edging. The hot tub felt a little slimy. The back of our door was dirty and marked up with holes. The coffee cup was in a plastic bag but was not washed! The deluxe room was small. No screen in the patio door. No microwave. They put so much stuff in the honor bar there was hardly any room for our stuff. For price it was doable $178/nt. It was a great place for dogs. Saw lots of pups! Probably won’t be back though
