We came to California for a funeral, but I needed to stay near the beach. It was perfect for this. The location is 2 blocks from the ocean. It is small with only 18 rooms, which was perfect. It felt small and cozy. The room was clean and they cleaned our room the second day. The price was perfect for being near the beach and the service.

Great location. The room was comfortable and clean. The television didn’t work terribly well, but that, of course, is a minor concern. I had to do a little work whilst there and was impressed with the WiFi. I’ll be back for a quick and affordable visit to the coast.

The office staff was very accomodating of our needs as aged persons who don't do stairs well and needed help with bringing in our luggage. The room was pleasant and very quiet. Mattress and covers very comfortable. Both soap containers in the shower was labled "Shampoo" and there isn't any place to hang towels (seems to be a hotel trends!) which doesn't make sense. Would have liked tea bags.

Great, but noisy, location
5 nights vacation. Room was small by US standards but it had a queen bed, one bedside chest, a little fridge, a microwave and a coffee maker, and a table with two chairs so it was adequate. The bathroom had a good size shower but the space between the vanity and the door was tight. A bigger person would struggle. It was very clean and serviced daily. There was noise on Saturday night and occasionally from the fire station across the road. Otherwise just traffic noise. Location is awesome...beach a short walk, and lots of food options around. Beach equipment and towels available was a nice touch.

Dingy, long wait for check in.
We had to wait about a half hour for someone to arrive at the facility to check us in. We received a text on the way to the hotel asking us when we would be there. We arrived very close to the time identified, but still had to wait an extended period to be checked in and given keys. The room was just okay and not very clean. Bathroom was dirty, with hair still in the tub from a previous guest and a used washcloth still hanging over the curtain rod. There was periods when the tv would not work. We weren’t there to watch tv, but at periods when we were resting or my husband wanted to catch some of the game while I got ready, that was disappointing. Lastly, it is advertised on hotels.com that there is a pool on site, but there was no pool to be found during our stay.

Very nice chic hotel, clean, comfortable, great amenities, modern, great location ….with a huge problem. AC is similar to a 747 jet take off. So sad this property has so much , would stay here again BUT not with that unsleepable noise.

The experience was okay; The receptionist will let you know that you paid the hotel from a third party and there is a parking fee. There is no internet even if they say there is internet with no password. No internet, No cable! Other than this it was an okay experience. The surrounding is beautiful.

Great hotel/bad customer service
Location was great! Hotel wasn’t bad- clean (no carpet which is a plus in my eyes). Bare minimum amenities (toiletries, towels,etc.). The noise didn’t bother me at all. STAFF IS TERRIBLE. When I arrived at 2:50ish (check in is at 3). There was a sign that no one is in and to text them. I texted them to let them know I was there to check in… never replied. Came back at 3:15 still no one.. called and they didn’t answer. Finally a girl came out at 3:30 and was so unfriendly. I wouldn’t have cared about them not being there but the fact that she was so unfriendly and rude made me more annoyed . She literally didn’t even say “hello”. She didn’t explain anything to me just asked for my ID and card and handed me my room key. She also announced my room number in front of the men in the lobby which I thought was inappropriate/not safe. Apparently they don’t stay on the property because when I called around 5 for something they didn’t answer. TV didn’t work.
