4.0 star property
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (1002)
"The hotel was very well run and we enjoyed our stay. It was so close to the shore line that we could walk to the sea lions. The room and bathroom had been updated nicely but our only complaint was the shower. The water barely came out of the shower head. It wasn't that the pressure was low it was non existent. I would also encourage you get a room not too close to the elevator. It was a little noisy at night but it is an old hotel. "
