I love how close to the beach, the shops and restaurants are to the hotel. The service was amazing. I will make sure to reserve a bottom floor when I visit next time. Climbing stairs to the 3rd floor wasnt fun but I had help so it made it bearable. No elevator. It was fun seeing everyones dogs. Its dog friendly. I will definitely stay again. Thank the staff for being amazingly.

Hotel is in the hub of ocean beach scene but very aggressive people all around. Somewhat quiet the first few nights, but we were kept up until midnight with sub par music blasting. Wouod not recommend for grown adults, let alone children.
