Pros:

Great location. Good price. Have stayed here many times. Usually very clean, unfortunately this last visit it was not.

Cons:

I'm skeptical on how well the rooms get cleaned in between guests. There was a sock under the couch from previous guests and there was a cookie wrapper from the hotel's nightly cookies on the carpet near the bed. The top comforter had black scuff marks so I don't think that got washed between guests either. It felt like we were just sitting in others germs.

Pros:

Easy on to the freeway. Near outlet stores and other sites

Cons:

Vary the scrambled eggs with something else. We had them every day.

The easy chair in the room needs to be replaced.
Blankets were too heavy for Spring.

The anniversary weekend stay was dissappointing for me and my partner.
Pros:

space of room

Cons:

The ac didn't work and we were very hot throught the entire night, causing to have to checkout early. We called the front dest for help, but they said they were the only ones on staff and maintnenance didn't come on duty for another couple of hours. It was unacceptable and would like to get compensated for the inconvenience. I

Would definitely return!
Pros:

Very comfortable facility. Rooms are spacious and clean. Location is great - short walk to the beach. Staff is very friendly. I had my dog and there is lots of grass around for quick and easy potty breaks. Also - there's a really nice full service gas station with great coffee just across the parking lot.

Cons:

I wish the cookie and milk service was extended until 10 or 11 PM.
