Liane, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Can’t beat the location, staff was great, only complaint is that it could use a bit of a remodel
Porter Rees, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The staff was amazing. Cleaning crew was incredible. Easy on site parking. Great restaurants nearby: Water Bar, Seaside Pizza, and Baja Beach Cafe to name a few. The room was always clean. Included small kitchette with plates, silverware, etc. We faced Thomas Ave with an ocean view on the third floor. This is a noisy location. Baja Beach Cafe is right below and is a loud late night party spot. Traffic is noisy, especially early morning truck deliveries and late night cruising with loud music and exhausts. Please note there is no air conditioning. Yes, that matters even right on the beach.
Dale, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

Jessica, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Location of the spot is immaculate for the price - right on the beach and in walking range of many good spots. Staff was friendly and the place was clean. Parking is easy to access and gated. Interior was a bit dated but that’s my only complaint.
