Location wise was great. Located by the beach and some dining areas around. Regarding property: Large cars for valet was $60 smaller cars are of course cheaper Upstairs has a nice view of the beach My room door did not close properly, it was a struggle to open and close the room door. I literally had to slam it just so it would properly close and pull the door for it to open, apologies to my neighbors. Room walls were thin, we could hear every conversation and snore which was annoying. Just wanted a nice quiet getaway. Room was also stuffy no matter how much I tried to adjust the AC setting. After checking into the room we noticed that the TV remote ran out of batteries so I was about to call the front desk when there was nowhere on the phone for such service. I had to google and call the hotel from my phone. Service was fast, however, this person that came (looks like Anthony Bourdain) said “no smoking in my rooms.” I did not know what prompted him to say that when we just got into the room and only request to change the remote batteries?

We loved the location. The price for the room via expedia made it affordable for the night. I would easily do 1-2 day stays more often if I could get a price point Of 230 - 300 for an even nicer room upgrade. The fireplace pilot light was on but We could not get the fire place to work. :(

The room smelled musty, the paint on the walls was sagging from water damage. Black mold in the shower. The headboard was moldy. The property as a whole was not maintained.

Nightmare stay.
Terrible! Had to enter room from outdoors with no shelter from rain. It was an open, easy way for anyone from the street to approach your door. No security cameras even though was told there were "a lot of cameras". Yet when asked to show me one, they would not! I felt very uncomfortable and not safe. No dresser drawers. Only two small night stand drawers. No bathroom space for toiletries. Had to hang wash cloth and towels from door knob. Light switch stopped working. Had to stand on glass top coffee table to pull light chain to work lights. Room was always dark and cold feeling. Felt and looked like a very old place in need of renovation. Continental breakfast was a joke! Only sweet cakes and very limited adult cereal. Yogurt was a good thing. Bathroom light was an auto motion censor that you could not turn off! Too bright for getting up in the middle of night. Finally taped over it. Seemed to be very few guest. I only saw three over 5 days. Canceled the rest of my stay (9 days) and went up to Huntington Beach. I will never stay there again!
