"The staff were extremely, genuinely, welcoming. My welcoming drink was a pint of Alvarado Street beer, which is a favorite. While I was checking in they also supplied snacks and were genuinely interested in my stay. The room had a free mini-bar with some great snacks. The evening turn down included cookies. Great ocean view from the room. The room also had a balcony which is nice touch. The location is quite and parking was easy. I will stay again."
