First impression made us feel like we made a mistake. You get inside and it was not bad. Staff was limited. I think we seen two different men working the 3 days we were there and we didn't see them all the time or all day. Check in was not a good experience and i was charged twice but got it straightened out once we got home. Comfortable and clean rooms. Building was hot but room was comfortable in temperature. Nice view to the ocean and a super easy stroll over to the beach. Easy and short drive to any establishment one could possibly need. Unless you just want to be at the beach i would recommend a vehicle. Would stay again!

Overall good.

Overall good experience, great location in my opinion. Just steps from the beach. I feel their parking fee is excessive and their stalls are very narrow. The lobby was warm inside as if they were trying to save power. Second time staying here. Their prices make it affordable.

The staff seemed stressed and didn’t know what they were doing. Rooms weren’t ready including mine. Door codes not working. Room not clean enough with loose hair strands on the bed spread upon arrival. I only liked the location.

Be prepared for noise - both inside but as most rooms overlook the Pacific Coastal Highway - it feels like sleeping on the sidewalk if on a lowing floor.
