Clean, comfortable rooms & bathrooms. Nice linens. The TV remote was easy to operate. The computerized thermostat controls were a challenge to understand and set. Very nice complimentary breakfast and dining room. The gardener's leaf blowers every morning were loud & annoying! confusing

From well before Check-in, the communication from the hotel was great! They reached out several times to inquire about anticipated arrival time, any needs, and so forth. The room was so nice, and the bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was clean, the towels amazing and plentiful, and all the toiletries one might need. Too bad I was only booked for 1 night. I loved the Happy Hour in the lobby, and the breakfast provided was probably the best hotel complimentary breakfast I've ever had (I selected eggs, chicken sausage, pork sausage, yogurt with fresh blueberries and a banana I sliced, great hot coffee). I saw many other breakfast choices as well. The location directly across the street from the beach and the running path was ideal. It was a very short walk to the Harbor for great restaurant dinner choices. Parking was easy in and out, and free. All staff wwre friendly and helpful. I absolutely loved my stay and will book again. The rate was incredible for the area, as beach hotels here can get pricey. All in all, 10/10.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights mid week - just a quick little getaway. Location was great - right across from the water and right off the freeway. Lots of restaurants etc near by. Staff was super friendly - they even called to let me know that I had left something on the room. They also let us check in early - when we called they said no but when we arrived our room was ready hours early. The bed was super comfortable, the bath tub was big, water was hot, room was clean. Nice amenities in the room - slippers, water bottles, coffee, mini fridge, seating area and even seating on the balcony. We didn’t get up in time for breakfast. Only downside was the pool was not heated but it was beautiful. Lots of parking!

The room was big and clean a bit older but nice, staff was great, breakfast was great parking was plentiful but farther than I would've liked from the room, the street was a bit loud but I am a day sleeper so I really couldn't enjoy my balcony, other than that I would come back but I would stay on a different side hopefully with less noise

Place is clean and well kept. I didn’t expect the junior sweet to be a full bedroom. But it was a full bed not a queen. The bed was not horrible, but it was also not comfortable as it was creaky and not very soft. Walls are very thin. You could hear every noise as well as conversations from other units.
