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.

Expectation High, Reality poor
Pros:

We stayed here as a family of 4 in a double queen room and for us this was a case of expectation v reality.

The photos of the hotel look amazing but when you get there it’s actually more like a budget hotel with a pool. For anyone UK based think Premier Inn - not awful but not like the photos which maybe were taken when it was shiny and new not worn in carpets, tired rooms and battered balconies (beds were comfy though)

The hotel is next to a train track and a freeway so rooms are incredible noisy if your the wrong end of the hotel. We were in 624 and Definately that number upwards is worst hit. The balcony was not usable really unless your a fan of the road noise and chair was broken.

We did complain to reception but she said any room she had available she could move us to would be just as bad. No apology just “it’s just the reality of the hotel” - perhaps list that a bit more clearer?

The pool area is clean but limited lounger space and the bar area is nice to lounge in. We didn’t eat on site as a convenient walk to the pier and downtown.

Overall I would say stay here if your just looking for a room and have ear plugs but for $300 a night we were massively disappointed and of our 3 week trip travelling California is the first hotel we’ve stayed in we wouldn’t be returning to.
