Friendly staff
Cons:
No air conditioning in many rooms

Categories

Cleanliness
8.6
Most reviews describe rooms as clean and tidy, though isolated reports of previous guest hair on the bathroom floor and rough linens lowered the score slightly.
Service
9.5
Staff are frequently described as nice or excellent; a few notes about the front desk not providing breakfast details or not being open at all times slightly temper the otherwise strong service sentiment.
Location
10
Consistently praised: directly on/next to the beach and boardwalk, walking distance to restaurants and attractions — universally noted as the hotel’s biggest strength.
Room Quality
8.1
Rooms are often described as clean, spacious and modern, but multiple guests complained about very firm beds, rough linens and lack of air conditioning, and some ocean-view upgrades were reported as narrow.
Amenities
9
Free parking, a simple warmed 'spa' for kids and easy beach access are positives; breakfast is basic which reduces the amenities score somewhat.
Value for Money
10
Many guests explicitly called the hotel excellent value for the price and recommended it as good mid-PCH lodging; a minority felt an extra-paid view was not worth the cost.
Food and Beverage
7.5
Breakfast is repeatedly described as basic, not very varied and starting late which causes crowding; a few guests enjoyed fresh pastries or the open-air patio breakfast.
Overall Experience
8.5
Overall sentiment is positive — peaceful, beautiful views and great location — tempered by recurring issues with AC, mattress comfort and limited breakfast options.

Enjoyed our stay, would have liked to sit outside to view the ocean.
Pros:

The room was nice, and the bathroom was good size except the toilet was very low. The buffet in the morning was simple but tasty. Comfortable sitting outside.

Cons:

I was disappointed that there was not an air conditioner and that the toilet was very low.

Pros:

המלון טוב, החדר נקי, יחסית גדול, חנייה חינם, צמוד לטיילת ליד הים

Cons:

ארוחת הבוקר מתחילה ב-8 בבוקר מה שגורם לעומס בכניסה, לא מגוונת. עמדת קבלה לא פתוחה כל הזמן..
פחות התחברנו למיקום מבחינת אטרקציות באזור/סופר/מסעדות
