Really enjoyed our stay.
Pros:

We had a great stay. The staff was amazing. Irlanda was so nice and helpful. And Patrick. The beach across the street was our favorite. Small but uncrowded. We got a room with a balcony and it was very comfortable. Great value.

Cons:

Nothing really. It was very nice relaxing for a budget friendly hotel.

One of the worst hotels we've been to...
Pros:

Breakfast was relatively ok, location is very good, free car parking, complementary water in the room and chocolates we liked.

Our room was not ready (double queen) on time (3.30 pm) so we waited patiently but when we finally went to leave our stuff there we were shocked - the condition of the room 112 is very far from the photos on Booking. It is very old, there were scratches on the furniture, the bedsheets were so old that we could not believe they had been washed after the previous guests. The shower did not work as it should, there was mold in the corners but the worst thing was the odor, the cleaning staff used so strong chemicals to obviously mask the smell from the pipes that we could not breath there normally.

The guy from the reception even chased us with questions about the room and if we liked it, then started apologizing, explaining the they had real issues with their cleaning stuff and saying there were no any other double queen rooms ready (cleaned) for guests...Well, we thought that was ok for just 1 night and did not insist on changing the room immediately. So we left our luggage and went for a walk hoping that when we return the situation would be better....Nope!

My eyes got irritated after 30 min. After 3 hours of constant coughing (we opened the door and the window to let the chemicals out) I simply got intoxicated and had difficulties breathing in the room or in front of the room with its door open. At this point my husband went to the reception to ask for another double queen room. What we heard from the reciptionist was an absolute mockery - he started shouting at me and asking why hadn't we told him earlier about the disgusting odor in the room and waited for hours to the extent that I was literally fainting...hello!....he definitely knew what room he gave us just decided to check what was going to happen and see if we were patient enough to spend the night there...never never never stay at this hotel! Believe me, its overall condition has nothing in common with the word "hotel", it is a motel, a very cheap and totally worn-out...though we paid 200+ usd/night.

Definitely recommend! Solid place to stay at and location/ amenities are really good for the price!
Pros:

Property was very close to the beach and there was a gas station a little down the road that was open late at night- perfect for late night snacks. Staff were nice, breakfast was good, very spacious, the restroom was very nice especially the shower. Definitely recommend for a family stay or a friend’s trip (I stayed here for a girls trip). The balcony was small tho so be cautious of that when booking. All in all a solid 9/10!

Cons:

At first I was like why is the floor a little bit dirty hahaha but by the end of our trip we completely understood. We used the showers provided by the stairs to wash off our legs but sand still tracked in. Our AC started leaking a little bit of water but we had it on all night. We just put a towel underneath it and it was fine. The pool was a little dirty but they have the net there to clean it, I was just too lazy to care.

A shabby 2-star hotel with exorbitant prices.
Pros:

Staff was friendly.

Cons:

Barn door to bathroom wouldn’t close. Toilet seat would slide off when you sat on it and toilet was so low flow that it wouldn’t flush. The shower had two body washes and no shampoo. Air conditioning unit was constantly running (unless you unplugged it) and was incredibly loud. Both that and the fan in the bathroom hadn’t been cleaned in a long time and were full of dust. The hotel is on a very loud section of the PCH, so hanging out at the pool isn’t enjoyable. I really wish I would have picked a different place to stay.
