Decent Place That Fit the Bill

Location is nice, right on the walkway by the beach. It's a busy, bustling area, but the hotel was surprisingly quiet. No noise at all that we could hear from the beach at night. Lounging area is fairly nice, and provides a direct outlet to the beach walk. Pool is small but OK for cooling off. Room was small (ours was an oceanfront on the bottom floor), but neat and tidy. Parking is $40 per day.

Anniversary Trip

The location is the best for beach enjoyment and for transportation pickup. My wife is a discerning critic of bed condition and comfort, and she was pleased with the bed. World Famous restaurant is just a few steps away and it offers excellent food at reasonable prices. These are some of the reasons that we keep going back to this hotel year after year.

I wanted to sit on the balcony and enjoy my morning coffee while looking at the Ocean. The neighbors brought their Boxer mix who growled at me and they were using the balcony as it's bathroom. The entire area smelled like an animal shelter. I called the front desk and spoke to Monica who would "try to get them to clean it up" There was a swarm of flies for godsakes. Nothing was done about it. I paid almost $1000 for two days and did not even get to utilize my balcony. By the way, I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and am not opposed to animals in hotels. I just stayed in a pet friendly room in Santa Barbara. Also, would have like to utilize the hot tub, but it was packed with children non stop.
