Great scenery outside but not worth the money.
Pros:

The sound of the ocean could be heard in the room.

Cons:

We had a ocean view but the windows were dirty with prints and never cleaned, so it was hard to see out. The bed and pillows were uncomfortable. The toilet was not secure to the floor. Parking was $50.00 a day and never explained, you had no choice.

Comfortable, romantic, peaceful.
Pros:

Beautiful views of the ocean and the Monterey Peninsula.

Cons:

Something was dripping down from one of the upper rooms at the corner of the parking lot. I had to avoid walking that direction.

Beautiful views, great beach enjoying, dipping and viewing wildlife. We will definitely come again.
Pros:

We loved the sound of the ocean as we slept and the beautiful view through our windows. The room was clean and tidy. We loved the smores and fire pits, they are well maintained. The breakfast was the most delicious breakfast we've had in awhile. The free drinks alcoholic and non alcoholic was a prefect touch.

Cons:

We didn't love how well you could hear loud people outside the hotel room around midnight. After 10 minutes their voices died down. It was only a bit disruptive. We didn't love the $56 charge for parking for one night. We understand a parking fee, but it is getting carried away especially for short stays. I would hope it changes to a daily rate that is not so expensive.

Very nice hotel, amazing sunset overlooking the beach.
Pros:

We enjoyed the evenings on the terrace, grilling the s‘mores and looking and beautiful sunset. The lobby and front area of the hotel are super nice. Our room was clean.

Cons:

Our room was at the back of the hotel overlooking the pool with busy highway behind. We are rather sensible for noise and clearly heard the Highway.

Für den Preis hätte ich außer der tollen Lage mehr erwartet
Pros:

Sehr schöne Lage direkt am Strand

Cons:

Das Zimmerkonzept ist sehr seltsam. Verhältnismäßig kleine Zimmer und kein Stauraum für die Klamotten und kleines Bad. Blick durch das Fenster zwar direkt aufs Meer, aber auch auf die vorbeigehenden anderen Gäste, da dies direkt der Gang zu den Zimmern ist…es kann also jeder hineinschauen.

Pros:

Arabanızı otoparka koyduğunuz için ücret yansıtılıyor.
İnsan hayatı için en önemli olan bir bardak suyu bile size ücretsiz vermiyorlar Odaya su koymuşlar şişesi 9 $ restoranda bir şey yiyeyim derseniz gelin içeceklerinizi bir daha kaldırılmamak üzere masaya bırakılıyor dışarıda oturayım derseniz bir oturma yerini temiz görmek imkansız
