Everything was exactly as advertised!! Perfect for me and my 19 and 13 year old. Small beach town feel only 30 minutes from Disneyland and only 30 SECONDS from the beach!! Excellent value for the price!! Loved the location, rooftop deck, and friendly staff who made breakfast every morning. We did not have a car (though parking is free if you do) so we were also glad to have several local and delicious restaurants within walking distance, too. Highly recommend if you are looking for an affordable, relaxed way to enjoy the beach.
Leslie greeted us and we got to check in early since our room was ready by 12. We enjoyed our room and was comfortable!! Bathroom just a little small and for the size of the sink. Very dangerous. Granddaughter hit her head twice. The shower downstairs for after the beach didn’t work very well. Besides that we loved the place and the rooftop sundeck was awesome!! And the breakfast was good and Leslie was amazing!!!! We would definitely come back!!
Id love to say this place was a dump, dirty, rude employees... all so i can keep this place to myself! A true hidden gem. Sean, manager was amazingly accommodating! They have beach towels to borrow. Other guests have left boogie boards and toys, all for you to use. Fresh water and the gpod coffee is in the lobby. Parking is great. We have a ram 2500 and it fit, but we parked outside for more room. Rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. Dont pass on this hotel.
This place was amazing! Homemade pancakes! Clean! Friendly staff! Roof top seating! They had free boogie boards, chairs, books, sand toys, towels for beach use. Beach is 2 minute walk

Shawn is amazing. His customer service is and friendliness is off the chart. we come once a year for a little family vacation. the kids love it. there's many places to choose to eat. and the beach is across the street.
Was a really cute and cozy hotel. The gentleman at the desk was nice and friendly. Smelled wonderful and clean. The roof top area was fun and nice to sit out in the sun and hang out. Definitely get the ocean view room.Waking up to the sound of the waves and such a beautiful view is so worth it.
Really basic hotel but if you get a balcony it's a view of the water and the beach, very comfortable bed. Sunset Beach is home to some fun restaurants we had a blast at Taco Surf and really good food. The hotel manager is a very nice guy, it's a neat little place right on PCH so make sure you request a balcony away from the highway.
Room 208’s restroom smelled of dirty water/ mold and the ventilation wasn’t working in there. Only 1/3 of the lights worked and signs of rust was apparent on the shower parts. A lot of traffic such as people and utilities like water from showers and toilets was really loud at times. The pictures provided for the room was misleading as it gave the impression that the location was DIRECTLY on the beach, and not a minutes walk. Granted it was still close, but I chose this place BECAUSE of the images. The room seemed okay, but the pictures regarding the room appeared either altered or from a past couple of years. Other than that, the stay was okay, a place to get away and relax. While not absolutely terrible, we will both look for alternative options for the future in this area.
This hotel is perfect for a trip to the beach. The staff was friendly, helped us with a few things because we were celebrating my daughter’s birthday. They even made a Happy Birthday sign for her in the lobby. Highly recommend this hotel.
I had a very nice room with a balcony view of the ocean. Neighbors were disrespectful slamming doors. Banging on walls. Breakfast every morning. Room was great, comfy bed, lots of extra towels. I would stay again.
Experience was not well. Bathroom sink over fulled with black water and took awhile to get someone out to fix it. Shaun, the hotel employee did not give great customer service at all. Did not offer any alternatives or didn’t apologize for the situation. Would not stay there again
