It was OK but an older hotel. The photos posted on the web site are misleading - for example the workout room is a tiny gray box and does not look over the ocean as shown online.

Husband and I decided on a last minute overnight getaway. This was a delightful place to stay. Wonderful staff, very friendly. We watched the 49er game in the bar restaurant. Food was wonderful, service was great. We had a beautiful view of the ocean from our room. Rooms are a bit dated but still very clean. Pillows were kind of small, but the bed was comfy and clean. Would definitely stay here again.

I was assigned Room 131...the WORST. The overwhelming mildew/musty smell was atrocious. Had to open doors and windows until bedtime for some relief ... making the room cold with no real heating options. Additionally, people going up n down stairs next to room all night was VERY loud. I was told no other rooms were available..."we are very busy"... was going to book 3 nights, sooooo glad I did not. Went to another hotel for 3rd night...much better ending to my visit.

Hotel is what you can expect from a 2 start ratings. Basic bed & bath with parking. Bed was very saggy & bedding you can see throughout. Not very clean either. Its convenient because of the location- close to several attractions in the area. We had stayed in other hotel nearby with about same rates & there's much difference. Selected this one because of the ratings (misleading). There's a restaurant on site but didn't go, therefore cannot give an opinion

Happy hour was fun and good deals on drinks. The food and service was fine but on the expensive side for an older place showing it's age. We did love the free EV charging so kudos to them for providing that!!
