Comfortable quiet and large

Great stay, room was large with full kitchen. Bed was comfortable and bathroom had been recently updated. They offered a reception in the evenings with wine and finger foods. Walking distance to a few bars and restaurants. Not really walking distance to pier or shopping but we utilized uber all over town. There are two gas stations right next to it so you can walk to grab drinks or snacks. They had bikes to use but we didn’t end up using them. Enjoyed our stay.

I loved having a kitchen in the room. The room was clean and very comfortable. The breakfast table by the window was a nice touch. Parking was easy and you have charging for our EV car. Our stay was amazing and we both slept well.

Way too expensive for what is basically a motel

This was a quick one night getaway from LA. The property is basically a glorified motel. The door and window of the room open to an outdoor walkway on the second floor. The “first” floor is the parking area so if we open our blinds, we see people walking by our room and cars parked below. The room furnishings are basic. Our “VIP” amenity was a bottle of sparkling wine that couldn’t have cost more than $5-6. The description on hotels.com oversells the property. The location isn’t bad as it’s a few blocks to the beach. But $445 a night for what is basically a motel room is exorbitant.

We liked the room and the breakfast. We did not like the wait or service at check in. The African American guy at the counter wouldn't even look up from his writing or make eye contact. After about thirty seconds I asked if I could check in. He was annoyed. All he said was "I need your license and credit card". That is no welcome. Also, there was no elevator. Otherwise all was good.

Great place to stay near the beach

Very warm staff, our room was comfortable. The exterior could use a little TLC. Conveniently located close to the beach. We enjoyed walking to the beach and dinner around the corner. We will be coming back to stay again in the near future
