My family and I stayed here and it was great. The staff was very accommodating. We enjoyed the heated pool and jacuzzi and also the continental breakfast a great variety to choose from. I did appreciate the cleanliness around the property as well. The parking was also such a plus. If in the area we would definitely come back.

The property is in a great location for business or pleasure. Right off the freeway and near Coast Hwy 101. The staff are kind and helpful. The entrance at the bottom off the street is poor and could be upgraded with better directions on the asphalt. The breakfast could be upgraded with making available Black pepper, chili pepper flakes, ice and more types of salsa. The TV should have directions for how to change the channel and turn the volume down (in the breakfast room).

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was big and I did like the layout - King bed in a room all to itself. Sofa bed for boys was standard. Room was clean. A plus was that the floors were laminate because I hate carpet. Only two complaints - the toilet flushed lie a vortex, swear you could get sucked in and it was so loud, and unfortunately, quite the opposite with the shower. The force of the water coming out was almost non-existent. I mean if you like taking a shower that resembles light mist, then this is the shower for you. Also, the tub drained slowly, so you did have to stand in a puddle while you showered.

The staff wasn't as helpful as I'd like but the property was very nice. There is an attached restaraunt though it sits dormant, and appears to be dormant for years. View was very good. Didn't get to use the pool and hot-tub, however it was obvious from the steam the hot-tub was heated at night. Walking distance from the beach side shops and eateries on the main shopping drag. Great little town to visit.

Definitely needs an update. Lobby is in inviting, grays, black. Needs some colors to brighten up facility. Rooms were the same.Whoever designed these rooms needs to appreciate how colors and thoughtful decorating could make it more appealing.

Excellent stay. I got the king bed with kitchenette and it was great. Clean large size room, comfy bed and pillows, and everything you need to cook for yourself. Four large towels for the shower was great. You dont see that often. Covered parking. Multiple elevators and lots of parking makes it EZ to get in/out. Just be prepared to hear a train every 2 or so hours. Highly recommend for short or long term stays.
