I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Though it was a bit musty, but the AC helped. The bedding and pillows were okay. I did not have any issues, but the bed does seem a little bit on the older side. Don't understand the door logic in the shower, but its fine. Pressure was good. Plenty of space to sit and lounge outside. I definitely took advantage of that late in the evening. Moderate walking to get to downtown, but you have some food options available nearby including the pier. Valet only. Street parking limited.

Disappointed with our Premier King Ocean View room – partial sea view at best, poor lighting (natural and indoor), dated decor, and a shower with low pressure and inconsistent temperatures. Not as advertised.

I loved being able to step out the door and go for a beachfront run and walk easily downtown for restaurants, shopping and to explore. The hotel has cruiser bikes for free guest rental. It was great fun! Even tried the pool. Surprise! Unheated. But clean.

Amazing! My mom and I had always walked past this spot on previous stays in SB and wanted to stay there just based on the fact they had fire pits! We finally did with a group of friends and it was wonderful! The fire pits were nice and we drank wine outside, listened to live music, and had a wonderfully great stay! The staff were nice and the rooms were clean and quiet.
