I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is unbeatable, right across from the beach and conveniently close to the main shopping streets. The quirky and charming decor of the rooms with balconies added a special touch to the experience. The service was top-notch, from room service to housekeeping. Dining was a delightful experience with delicious chopped salads and fluffy pancakes, although more variety could be a plus. The facilities were impressive, especially the view and amenities available. A fantastic choice for a vacation getaway with value for money.

I loved staying at this hotel! The quirky but charming decor with a balcony was delightful, and the location right across from the Pier and on Cabrillo Boulevard made it so convenient. However, the dining with pancakes left a bit to be desired even though the room service was top-notch. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, offering a great value for the money.
