My son is a Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton and suggested this hotel. I read the reviews and decided to give it a try. I stayed only one night, but would love to go back for a longer stay. The property is somewhat dated, but is being updated in every aspect. My room was really spacious and comfortable. By far the biggest room I've every stayed in for the price. The staff at the front desk were extremely helpful. I met Adele, the manager of Adele's Diner, and both she and her staff were...

Great area, great place, but the staff were quite unpleasant. The “ketchup lady”..and I won’t name the type of service area this person would be in, just to not name names, but I told her she forgot the ketchup, and she got very defensive, and she told me that she never makes that kind of mistake. I had just woken up in this beautiful room with a beautiful view of the ocean with my beautiful wife, and going downstairs to pick up my breakfast and I went back up to my room, the ketchup was...

Upon parking our vehicle, the parking lot, building, and area were well kept and clean. The fragrance in the lobby was fresh & clean. The decor and furnishings were up to date. The room was clean, the bed comfortable, and the furnishings up to date. We loved how there was extra ports to charge our devices and beside outlets by the night stands. It's great for people like us who have to sleep with CPAP's. We were overall pleased!

We very much enjoyed our stay. We left Los Angeles after the Palisades and Eaton fires began and are glad we found this place. The 1bdrm was perfect for our family of 3. The property is right up next to PCH so it can get noisy but it was wonderful to hear the waves at night. We also appreciated the bridge access to the beach, it was convenient. Not much to walk to though but there were stores within a 5min drive away.
