Need more electrical outlets in the room, especially by the bed to charge devices. Had a good stay.
Luis, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed three nights in November. Front desk staff was very friendly and kind. Parking looks a little iffy, but even if your car is blocked by another, the front desk can move the car quickly so you can get out. Our room was comfortable, even though quite small. King bed was very comfortable. Everything was very clean. It was nice to be able to open the windows and let the fresh air inside. The bathroom was super clean, my only issue was the shower pressure which was almost non-existent. Location can't be beat! Short walk to anywhere you want to go, whether the Pier, Main Street, or the Promenade Shopping side. We would've loved a coffee maker in the room, but the lobby does have coffee at all times. I would def stay here again.

I always stay here— the location is exactly the same as a $1000 a night hotel next door—walk out the door to the beach—great restaurants (the Coast is 3 minutes away and the food is amazing)—the Pier is 5 minutes away—tha airport 25 minutes The rooms are simple but sufficient and very clean— the staff is great *****
james, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice and clean hotel. Very close to everything. Get the parking for $29 on the premises, much more convenient than looking around. Walking distance to the beach, shops, restaurants, want Monica Pier.
Yevgeniya, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not that nice

Read the fine print about reserving hotel parking. Staff was not friendly and did not inform us of the building construction that started at 8 am with jackhammers that ratted our room until about 3 pm each day we were there. Maybe there is a beach view from a higher floor but not on the first floor where we were. For the price, there are other options close by that are better.
