Great location with good parking. I enjoyed the walk to Beacon Park and Grandview beach access points. (Both have long steep descents; people with mobility challenges may need to drive to get to easier access.) Nice clean room with kitchenette. Friendly staff.

My husband and I went for a little weekend getaway and the hotel was lovely. We had an ocean view room with a big balcony. It was surprisingly quiet. You can walk everywhere, we left our car parked the whole time. The hotel staff is so friendly!!

The hotel is about a 20 min walk from the train station/transit center. As I rounded the corner, this property was well landscaped, newer construction and overall several steps above its surroundings. The staff was friendly, no matter who I interacted with through the week. It seems the hotel and furniture was recently updated so things are modern and I found, very clean. This is key for me to feel comfortable. I thought it was also a good value (I searched on Hotels.com by reviews and...

Such a chill & comfortable environment!! Ridiculously close to the beach where there are, what appeared to be, a great spot to catch some waves. There are surf & boogie boards to rent in house! Loved that they have staff at the front desk at all times to monitor those coming in. Even with door code that's changed daily it's nice knowing random peeps couldn't just come in with guests. Plenty of lounge areas to chill & meet other guests. Enjoyed my stay here & would return in a heartbeat!!! def...

We had two rooms next to each other on the ground floor, that were very comfortable. The amenities such as a refrigerator in the room, a screened window that opens for ventilation, great AC, and a very nice pool area with great seating and landscaping, were features that will bring us back to this hotel. We enjoyed the free breakfast options and used the microwave also when we had leftovers from a restaurant. The staff were friendly and helpful also. Summer prices were reasonable compared to...
