Nice Place

Pretty cool hotel. Nice sized rooms. Very conveniently located close to Doheny State Beach. If you are there to hit up the beach or see a music festival like Ohana this is a great place to stay. Employees were super friendly and even got a little gift bag upon checking in. Walking distance to several shops and restaurants. Like I said room was very specious and definitely more like a suite than a standard sized room.
