Very friendly staff! Pet friendly. Not U-Haul or trailer friendly. I was able to park in the back and detach my U-Haul into a space and park next to it. The area is a mix of locals and surfer hippies. Plenty of food choices less than 30 seconds to walk to. COFFEE is across the main road next to Vons. About a 2-3 minute walk but worth it for the doughnuts. THE HOTEL is NOT on the beach. It is situation at the beginning of the road, so it takes about 1-2 minutes to walk down. Any pictures of the rooms with a beach front view are the apartments that are down on the beach and you will need to reserve.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Free parking. Poorly cleaned bathroom with hair wad in tub and dirty grime between floor tiles. Dirty bathroom ceiling vent with caked up dust. Cabinets with worn and rotten wood(maybe due to proximity to beach and salty air). Place could use better property management and upgrades from the owner. Much more pride and dignity can be given to the hotel. It’s all about the small things and attention to detail that make a stay great, even for lower-end inns and spaces. It’s about principle and morale.

Room was clean, bed was nice but there was a strange odor in the room. The in room coffee pot still had foul smelling water in it so I went elsewhere to obtain coffee. The shower head needed cleaning to improve the flow. Otherwise staff was ver helpful and welcoming. The decor is very appropriate and location is supurb.
