We have stayed here twice, this 2nd time after their upgrade. It seems like they updated some of the furniture, but not the actual structure. It feels dark and old. Our room, which cost about $680 a night with the fees and tax, had a ground floor view of the parking lot. We couldn’t keep the window open. The room was small with a cabinet placed in the room to serve as the closet. There are no drawers for clothes, no full length mirror, no space in the bathroom to place your toiletries. It’s just the basics here. The pool and jacuzzi are too small for the number of guests they accommodate. At 8:30 at night there were about 8 kids in the jacuzzi eating ice cream and dunking their ice cream cups and spoons in the jacuzzi water for play. The location is great, the patio off of the lobby is nice. We enjoyed the breakfast at Costa. I wouldn’t stay here again though. We booked last minute and this was one of the few properties with availability. Now I see why.

Nice for solo trip

The service was great and the front desk employees and valet were really nice. I appreciated the late checkout and help with beach amenities. I wish I used the bikes and beach chairs more. The hotel could use some updates and walls are thin. Otherwise, I enjoyed this option for my solo trip!

This property is outdated, smelly, moldy and musty. Don’t be fooled by the beautiful lobby. The hallways are dingy and dark and they smell like a porta-potty. Rooms are tiny and have a musty smell. My allergies went crazy because I’m allergic to mold. I couldn’t wait to leave the hotel. We stayed one night on our way up to Big Sur. I could barely sleep at night. There were all sorts of sounds. The sound of banging pipes, footsteps from above, and there was a weird knocking sound as if someone was hitting a credit card against the nightstand. I also felt a very strange heavy energy in our room. Not sure if it’s haunted or what, but I felt off the moment I stepped into the room. The valet parking fee is insane as is the resort fee. We luckily found street parking and had the resort fee waived. We checked out at 7:30am because we just couldn’t wait to leave.

Not happy with level of service

When we checked in we were not told that our view was 90% obstructed. Once we brought this up to the front desk, they promised to fix the issue. But they never followed through. We repeatedly brought up our dissatisfaction and only until we checked out when they gave us comped us the resort fee. Not the service I expected for a Hyatt facility.
