10/10 Exceptional

The check in was probably the most efficient and easiest check in I have ever experienced. The staff was nice and helpful. The room I stayed in was a little dated but extremely clean. There is no A/C but there is a ceiling fan and that combined with the weather and ocean breeze kept it cool enough. I can’t say enough good about the location and how close to the ocean it was. My family and I will definitely be staying again when we come back to California.

Wonderful location and service, older property
Great location and customer service but the place hasn’t been updated in a while. Very dated decor with old wallpaper, rusty bathroom fixtures, etc. but the place is clean and has beachfront access, which is fantastic.

4/10 Fair

Great location, but not exactly a dream hotel
We specifically asked for a room away from trash and stairways on the top floor. Ended up in a second floor flounder another room right next to the dumpsters for the restaurants and at the top of the staircase. The body wash was empty in the shower and drain stopped did not work. There were ketchup stains on the outside of the refrigerator. We spoke to the front desk on the second day and they admitted that they accidentally knew us from the designated room to this room, but it was too late for us to move Housekeeping, came in and fix the shower gel and wipe down the refrigerator. However, we were told that the brain had been fixed. It was not. It never actually worked when there was any kind of water in the tub. Kelly as our visit went on the maintenance room got closer closer to our room and Saturday morning we had all the nose from the maintenance trash and food delivery trucks. It was almost unbearable. I just feel like that was a huge mess on there part flexing us as far north and away from the main building as possible, and exactly where we asked not to be, which is by the staircases and trash. We do appreciate the fact that our room was air-conditioning, which is a very specific question of ours, however, not fixing the drain stop was frustrating

6/10 Good

Great location but rundown
Starting with the positives. Great location right beside the beach. We had a view of the ocean so it was great to watch the pelicans and sunset. Hotel had great communication. Unfortunately the room and hotel as a whole is very rundown. It’s probably clean but it’s hard to tell. It desperately needs new paint and definitely furniture. It just had an ick feeling that was hard to get past. But it sure has potential. Loved going for morning and night walks along the boardwalk.
