We loved the location, just a short stroll away from the ocean. The hotel's bright yellow mustang made transportation easy and fun. The room and amenities were top-notch, and the grounds were beautifully maintained. The breakfast was delicious and offered a great variety of fresh produce. The staff were friendly and went above and beyond to help us, providing maps and recommendations.
Nothing.
On our Californian road trip, we loved the hotel's cleanliness, facilities, convenient parking, and transportation. Its location, just a short walk from the beach and the bustling Ocean Ave for shopping and dining, was perfect.
Nothing to be said.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the cleanliness and attention to detail. The hotel facilities were top-notch, with shutters and windows that could be opened to let in the fresh ocean breeze. The location of this hotel was ideal, situated right in between the beach and the town center. It was so convenient to be able to walk to both. Additionally, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They made me feel welcome and went above and beyond to assist me during my stay. The breakfast provided was delicious, with a wide variety of options to choose from.
Nothing all good.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The cozy fire in the lobby fireplace created a charming and welcoming atmosphere. The breakfast included in the room rate was fantastic - the champagne breakfast was a delightful treat. The staff were polite, helpful, and went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. They even served tea in the lobby late in the evening, which was a nice touch. The location of the hotel was perfect - close to the beach and the town, making it easy to explore and enjoy everything this city has to offer.
Could not be improved in any way.
The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel like family right away. The hotel facilities are beautiful with well-maintained grounds. The location is perfect, close to both the beach and restaurants in town. Additionally, the breakfast provided is wonderful and the wait staff is excellent.
Didn't dislike anything about the property.
