The sitting area outside (one of the sectional sofas) was wonderful. We called it our “living room” when we occupied it. The breakfast was awesome and much more than a Continental style meal!

Loved the surrounding environment of beautiful flowers, greenery, lighting, fountain, etc. Nice breakfast, lovely breakfast room and outside. Could use microwave in the breakfast room (great having one in our room, but one in the breakfast room is needed). Would be helpful to have small writing pad in room (and pen) which is usually provided in most hotels of this kind. Appreciated the courteous staff.

Disliked: Room comfort
Room was like a broom closet next to a freeway.
Although the hotel was clean, we were definitely underwhelmed by both the size of our room, the noise from the busy adjacent Street, and the cold water of their swimming pool. It was a short 2 to 3 block walk to the beach. The hotel personnel were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was no-frills Continental breakfast. The coffee was mediocre. I would not stay there again.

My shower was backed up. On arrival I thought the room/shower had recently been cleaned, thus the suds in the shower. I left, came back and there were even more suds then before. Since I had showered that A.M. I figured I’d take one in the morning. Went in to take shower in the A.M. …suds!….. suddenly water and suds was gushing up out of the plumbing for a good 15 min. Maintenance came to fix the issue and after doing so it was 10 AM, check out it’s 11 AM, he told me he it was fine and I can go ahead and use it. Needless To say I was not gonna get into a shower from not knowing where the water was coming up from, I wasn’t sure if it was used water from somebody else’s bath or what.(pretty sure it was, I can hear the person above me showering at the same time soap was coming up through the drain) Not one cleaning product was used to ensure a healthy environment . I don’t want anything for free, but I wasn’t even offered a credit nor and apology.
