Everything was great. My only complaint is that the ice machines are only located on every other floor and you can only get to your assigned floor from the elevators bc you have to use your room key. So we were on the floor above the ice machine so we had to walk down the stairs to use the machine but that one was out of service so we had to walk down two flights of stairs every time we needed ice then take the elevator back up to our floor. I know, first world problems but for the price we paid for the room there should be ice on every floor.

Room is nice, clean and remodeled. However the lobby area and cafe is old and needs updating. Our neighbor was blasting music all night long. We called several time to complain finally at 3 am they sent security to stop it. It’s a really nice spot on the beach boardwalk area.

Wonderful location. Step out of the hotel and you are on your beach walk. Our room had a beautiful view of the ocean and Surfer's Point. We left the patio door open all night and slept happily in the sea breeze. One caution, the hotel is close to the 101 freeway and the railroad tracks. It didn't bother us, but some people may be more sensitive.

Unfortunate stay

We arrived early to play at the beach, paid the valet and left our bags in storage; and after aprx 2 hrs we received a phone call that the hotel overbooked and needed to cancel our reservation. We had 3 kids very excited for this stay, which I expressed to the supervisor, who was able to find us a room. I then received another call from the hotel about 2 hrs later that I would need to contact hotels.com because the credit card was being declined. After being on hold about 20 mins, they finally worked it out. The supervisor upgraded our room for our trouble. We finally went to retrieve our room key at 4pm and had to wait in a long line, despite already having physically checked in. The manager gave us complimentary breakfast vouchers. Later that night we called down for more towels and an extra blanket, which we never received. The tv doesn’t offer and streaming services where you can login with our own credentials so we were forced to pay 10 for a family/kid friendly movie. The toilet ran every 2 minutes. Finally, after checking out, I called twice regarding phone chargers I left in the room and left 2 voicemails asking that they please hold them so I could pick them up, but never received a call back.

Nice hotel ( a bit expensive). Nice place. Staff for the most part were nice. I did ask a front clerk if there was an outdoor shower to wash sand off your feet. She immediately replied “no there isn’t “ I went by the pool and yes there was one. Maybe she didn’t know. Anyway good hotel I would stay again.

I was impressed by the hotel's beauty and cleanliness. The location on the water was also a significant advantage. Nevertheless, I was disappointed by the front desk staff's lack of customer service, which was similarly inadequate during my previous stay. To enhance their performance, I strongly recommend that they participate in training seminars.

Beautiful ocean views and lots of walkable food options. Noise from karaoke bar lasted until almost 11 pm and Amtrak trains run right next to the hotel. Also, the bathrooms have sliding barn doors that are noisy if you open them while others in the room are sleeping. I would still stay here though because of the positives.
