Beach front chill.
My wife and I had a wonderful 3-night stay here. It was the perfect place to unwind and chill. Everything a beach lover needs is within walking distance. Restaurants, bars, grocery stores, bike/surf rentals, and dispensaries are within walking distance. We didn't move the car the whole time we were there. If you are looking for a nice, comfortable, and clean place to spend a nice weekend with your significant other, you found it. We will be going back next year. It was the perfect spot for us.

We enjoyed the stay very much. But because there was no advance information on the challenging parking situation and that the check-in was on a separate property, we were pretty frustrated upon arrival. We had to park a block or so away to get to the hotel. Then we learned that the check-in was even further away...then the long walk back to the car, unload it and then find parking at a third property. There should be instructions about this on the website. But, the front desk person was nice and we would stay there again. We would be better prepared for arrival

The property is along the beach. Easy access. No waterfront view from the room. With the exception of a couple of units. Nonetheless location is perfect. Limited parking for this location. There are other properties blocks away. But that creates a problem in itself if you need to go back and forth to the car for various things. The property is pet friendly. So be prepared to listen to pets walking and playing around if you are on the bottom floor. And they are above you. Can keep you up. Located close and walking distance to anything you would need. Beach, dining, stores, barbershop etc. Would definitely stay again. But would request top floor next time.

great location but.....
The location is great. The facilities are lacking. No onsite support for guests and we had to walk to a different location to check in. Only three windows opened so the room was stuffy and we had to use the AC. the sink faucet was broken. No daily change of sheets. In this case providing the number of towels that the guest is staying would allow for fresh towels daily without room service. As I said great location.

They overbooked the hotel. The only room they had was an out of service room that was hot and humid bc it was right on the beach. My entire intention. I was given a room at their other hotel which was nice, but it was loud and right on mission blvd with street traffic. Not the vibe I paid $150 for.
