Very easy walk (5 minutes) to enjoy the cliff side waves and sunsets. Very easy drive (10 minutes) to Children’s Pool. Beds are super comfortable, the room is spacious and clean. Would love to stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Overall great location. Solid included breakfast with ample options. Heated pool and grounds are great. The entrance driveway is difficult to find since the are no signs. Parking is tight but free and there is street parking if no spaces are available in the lot. Guests seem to have difficulty keeping cars parked in just one spot and often multiple spots are taken by one vehicle. Staff is overall friendly and helpful. Rooms are partially updated but a good size, some with ocean views. They are a very dog friendly and neighborhood is very walkable.
Excellent location
Room was clean
Carpet old and smelly
No ventilation
Uncomfortable beds
Only there 2 nights so it was fine. Probably wouldn’t stay here again
