Quiet rooms and beautiful views of the ocean. The outdoor space with fire pits overlooking the Pacific make the property unique. Rooms were comfortable and private even though the hotel was busy.

When you check in, you are not informed that your account will get charged and extra $50 in the event fees are needed. No posted signage. Front Desk Clerk didn’t mention it. No paperwork signed. I should get the fee back in 7 business days [they said]. I would have preferred to know this up front. Clear communication would have been nice. If you call, the receptionist will say, “Can I put you on a brief hold?” I wouldn’t call 22 minutes a brief hold. Not sure if posting more people at the front is an option. “May I call you back?” might be a helpful alternative.
