Almost a five

The inside of the property was a pleasant surprise: clean, modern and bright. We would have given it five stars but we were awoken to very loud guests above and around us well past the quiet hours of 10pm. We can't report that we got a good night sleep before our flight but that was not due to the bed/room/accommodations. Other than that, we thought a continental breakfast was listed on hotels com but there was only in room coffee. Overall, very close to a five star experience but not quite. If you are looking for views of the water you will only get that from a few of the rooms. This is a great location though if flying in/out of San Francisco.

Ocean room

The room was great, the ocean was harder to see then I imagined, the listing made it sound like it was directly on the beach but there’s a road and trees, still a great hotel nonetheless.
