Categories

Cleanliness
8.6
Multiple guests call rooms 'clean' or 'very clean' with fresh linens, though a number mention worn-in/soiled carpet and tired rooms; overall generally clean but some maintenance-related cleanliness issues.
Service
8.3
Staff are frequently described as nice and helpful, but there are several reports of indifferent reception (no apology), delayed room service and slow responses to maintenance problems.
Location
9.9
Consistently praised as the hotel's strongest feature: steps from the beach, walking distance to downtown, pier and transit (Amtrak); excellent views and beach access.
Room Quality
6.8
Mixed to negative: many complaints about noise from train/freeway, noisy/leaking AC, balcony issues, broken furniture, shower warm-up delays, holes in curtains and worn fixtures; a minority note comfortable beds.
Amenities
6.9
Amenities are limited or inconsistently delivered: pool and bar exist but lounger space is scarce; no clear beach-towel or rental services, ice machines inconsistent by floor, no generator during outages, no included breakfast noted.
Value for Money
6.5
Several guests feel the price is high for the experience (one cites ~$300/night disappointment), citing maintenance issues, missing amenities and occasional service problems as detracting from value.
Food and Beverage
9.2
Generally positive comments about the restaurant and food, and an enjoyable open-air bar area; limited on-site dining options for some stays but quality is praised when used.
Overall Experience
8.6
Overall a location-driven stay: many would return for location, views and cleanliness, but noise, maintenance and some service inconsistencies lower the experience for a subset of guests.

Pros:

Location super cool, room is clean, comfortable.

Cons:

Shower problems, had to run water and wait for 15 minutes to get warm. Due to the location, nights can be noisy! No breakfast included in the (quite high) price.

I stay here every chance I get. Love the view from the room and location.
Pros:

Best location.. right on the beach with a walking( sidewalk) that is right in front of hotel. Love the open air bar with lots of outdoor sitting. Restaurant is good too. Staff is nice nice and helpful. Dogs are welcome so I’ve met some nice owners and dogs. Walking distance to fair grounds.

Cons:

It is noisy due to train and 101 freeway. The air conditioner was also noisy and left the balcony wet all over. I reported it to staff. The elevator got stuck on the ride to our room. I reported it to staff.
