Pros +
- It was close to the ocean and we could walk to many restaurants. There is an outdoor roof area that is wonderful.
- Location ocean view. Pretty spacious room. Clean. Easy parking. Friendly staff. Bar and grill right next door.
- Beautiful spacious rooms and a roof terrace that is to dream of.
Cons -
- Breakfast included was a joke. We got a nice muffin at the lobby. The coffee was not good. They only had 2 tea choices. The juice was either a thick green or a thick orange concoction. Yuck. The room does not provide a coffee machine nor a microwave.
- No complaints.
- The outdoor bar next door was quite noisy from midday until 9pm.

Great location, cute rooms and wonderful service from the staff. They give you actual keys not the card to swipe. Oh and free parking!

The hotel is located in a lovely area surrounded by local shops, restaurants and bars. You can see and smell the ocean and the rooms are very generously sized. The staff here is very warm and friendly. It felt like home!
The hotel/lodge is in a great location in terms of beach access, shopping and restaurants. Easy access to Pacific Coast Hwy and I-5. This is a quaint hotel property with individualized rooms. Preparing for needed updating and renovation.
Our room was very nice. The high entry into large tub/shower is a problem for anyone with a disability or elderly clients. There are safety bars, but I a bit difficult and potentially dangerous. Owners need to take into account for planned upgrades.
fantastic location .. good breakfast
air conditioner did not work properly, I did not sleep the last night of my stay .. 95 degrees in the room
LOVED THE LOCATION (ONLY 2 BLOCKS FROM THE BEACH AND THE VIEWS OF THE OCEAN FROM THE ROOF TOP WERE PERFECT. ALL THE WORKERS WERE VERY HELPFUL AND THE FRONT DESK STAFF WERE EXCELLENT. A VERY SMALL HOTEL BUT SO PERFECT. BREAKFAST WAS SIMPLE BUT GOOD.
BATHROOM WASN'T ENTIRELY CLOSED. GRANDMA STYLE ROOM DECOR BUT I LOVED IT. NO ROOMS HAVE 2 BEDS JUST A SOFA BED.
Size
Check in was slow and painful. There is no signage to direct you to the parking.
This hotel has a sweet little charm about it and of course it's so close to the beach.
