Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 16 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a great stay. We stayed in the upstairs unit. There were plenty of beds and bedding. There were more than enough towels for showering and the beach. They have chairs for the beach, which we didn’t end up using, but were in the garage. It was a little loud at night, but we were there during one of the busiest weeks after graduation. It is in a perfect location. You are close to many restaurants and the pier. My only complaint is the pillows weren’t great. We ended up buying some from Target, but overall everything was really good. I would highly recommend the unit. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Lemon Tree Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Barbara-Hotels-Lemon-Tree-Inn.h966170.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Escondido-Hotels-Hyatt-Vacation-Club-At-The-Welk.h59916.Hotel-Information) > > [Sonesta Redondo Beach & Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Sonesta-Redondo-Beach-Marina.h6037.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Delfina-Santa-Monica.h12942.Hotel-Information) > > [Pixar Place Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneys-Paradise-Pier-Hotel.h9503.Hotel-Information) > > [Palihouse West Hollywood at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Palihouse-West-Hollywood.h13072.Hotel-Information) > > [FOUND Hotels, Santa Monica, Series by Marriott](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-FOUND-Los-Angeles-Santa-Monica.h41510539.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Alton Fisherman's Wharf by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Kimpton-Alton-Hotel-Fishermans-Wharf.h1047.Hotel-Information) > > [Beacon Grand, A Union Square Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Sir-Francis-Drake-Hotel.h15254.Hotel-Information) > > [The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-London-West-Hollywood-At-Beverly-Hills.h21097.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Loma Beach Hotel (formerly The Inn at Laguna Beach)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Laguna-Beach-Hotels-Inn-At-Laguna-Beach.h7446.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hoxton Downtown LA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-THE-Hoxton-Downtown-LA.h36712437.Hotel-Information) > > [The Commerce Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Hotel-Los-Angeles-Commerce-Casino.h533227.Hotel-Information) > > [ The Hollywood Franklin Hotel near Universal Studios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Adler-A-Hollywood-Hills-Hotel.h9761.Hotel-Information) > > [Alma San Diego Downtown, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Alma-San-Diego-Downtown.h2133509.Hotel-Information) > > [Corque Hotel, Solvang, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Barbara-Hotels-Hotel-Corque.h67460.Hotel-Information) > > [CCBC Resort Hotel - A Gay Men's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-CCBC-Resort-Hotel-A-Gay-Mens-Resort.h1654482.Hotel-Information) > > [Magic Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Magic-Castle-Hotel.h27297.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pierside Santa Monica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Pierside-Santa-Monica.h2094.Hotel-Information) > > [Basecamp South Lake Tahoe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Tahoe-Hotels-Basecamp-South-Lake-Tahoe.h1086847.Hotel-Information) > > [Disneyland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneyland-Hotel.h15276.Hotel-Information) > > [Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneys-Grand-Californian-Hotel-And-Spa.h692655.Hotel-Information) > > [The Viv Hotel, Anaheim, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-The-Viv-Hotel.h50907370.Hotel-Information) > > [Bide-A-Wee Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterey-Hotels-Bide-A-Wee-Inn.h3520260.Hotel-Information) > > [The Prospect Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Whitley-Hollywood.h42644328.Hotel-Information) > > [The Beverly Hills Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Beverly-Hills-Hotel-Dorchester-Collection.h12057.Hotel-Information) > > [Premier Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakland-Hotels-Premier-Inn-Suites.h98374288.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Caza.h38249309.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Petit Pali Brentwood West Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Le-Petit-Pali-Brentwood.h893085.Hotel-Information) ---
