Awesome vibes awesome experience great views

Such an awesome experience we went for an overnight trip wanted something close to the beach so we could hang out all day and then just walk to our hotel without the hassle of loading and unloading all of our beach stuff lugging everything around back and fourth on top of having to deal with parking . This hotel offered free parking and the rooms although not all that big were cozy and clean which is the most important for me because all we used the room for was to sleep . The ocean beach strip offered such an awesome night life as sooon as you step foot on the street bars restaurants. The view from the shared balcony is amazing I was concerned since our room had a partial view I wasn’t going to get a great experience but that shared patios made it to where you could sit down and enjoy the view at any time . Waking up hearing the seagulls and the waves is the best at this hotel you will not be disappointed

Beach is less then 20 yards in front of the hotel you just cross the road

False pictures not family friendly

The rooms were dirty and a blunt was left in the room and on the balcony. The bathroom had no fan. There were scratches in the front door. The bed was way too soft. My back was sunk into the mattress and I had terrible sleep. The ocean view doesn’t have a balcony to step out and enjoy the view I paid for. The framing from the walls was tearing off terribly. The room and paint was very old. The pictures were not accurate to the promotion of the hotel at all. The area was not family friendly and felt very unsafe. I moved the tiny table in front of the door when I slept because I felt unsafe. I would not recommend this place to anymore. Bars surrounded the hotel and music was very loud at night time and hard to sleep. You can hear people verbally fighting using foul language. This was a terrible stay.

Literally right across the street from the beach! In a super fun area, although seemed possibly a little sketchy at night for a woman alone, although maybe that was because we were there on a Saturday night. Infrastructure looks a little tired, but the super sweet staff totally made up for that!

Being right across the street from the beach and having their own parking lot were definite pluses. The hotel was close to every attraction and the food within walking distance was delicious. My only complaints were that the floor in the room were a little slick (may be due to the beach atmosphere, not sure) and not having enough towels for a family of four. These were minor and did not take away from our 5 star experience.

Dingy dark , motel like room

Great location if you want to be in grungy ocean beach area and especially if you are surfer. Great beach outside with wonderful surf. Good food and drink close by . No path to walk or run on at beach so if you like that this is not place . Lovely balcony with tables to watch ocean and drink your coffee in am . Hotel is clean but room was so dark and dingy . We did not have an ocean view room so if we opened the curtain covering the one window we would be looking out into hallway and would have no privacy . Bed was comfortable but really soft mattress . Nice large TV but can’t access Netflix or streaming just bad cable shows . Nice large fridge and coffe machine and really good shower pressure in shower . Would stay here again :(

The hotel was very clean and the staff were some of the very best. However, the first room we were given was on the 2nd floor right by the stairs. It was so loud all night. They did allow us to move, and I bought a fan. It was night and day difference. The biggest issue is the homeless outside. On our very first visit to the ocean (across the street) a homeless man started yelling profanities at everyone and scared children. In the following evenings it wasn’t uncommon to see lots of people digging in trash, laying around, and talking/yelling to themselves.

Convenient but noisy

There were a couple hiccups - We checked in, only to find other people sleeping in the room - We had a pet and had wanted a first floor room, (which we had booked), but had to take a room on the second floor once our booked room was not avail.. once in the room, (after 10 PM), there was loud music blaring from people hanging out on the beach walk, and also - be aware that there is a lot of airplane noise at this property. But, the beds were comfortable and the room was clean.
