Great location, but the parking fee that was not disclosed was such a disappointment - $110 extra sucked! Also, I chose this hotel because it has a gym but the place was under construction, so it was unavailable. Also, sucked! Again, great location, but I would not recommend based on the experience I had. The yoga mats and beach chair lending was a nice touch though. No views but great proximity to the beach / pier.

Ursula, thank you for your compliments on our location and some of our amenities. but we apologize if you were unaware that our multi-million dollar renovation was still in progress. While we have this listed online, we understand you may have missed it if you booked through a third party. Our new pool, restaurant, and gym should be available to guests very soon. We currently do offer a wide array of amenities, from premium wifi, complimentary hydration stations on every floor, and complimentary beach gear rental from our Board Shop. Please know our valet parking rate is competitive or below others in this area, but we are happy to help guests know about street parking options or other garages available. Our team would love to welcome you again! Anytime you need a place to stay on our stretch of California’s coast, our doors are open. Thank you.

The property is currently under construction and that was not disclosed prior to our trip. Our room was right above the construction and they had no other room to offer us. I could’ve paid for a suite for an extra $100 a night. They removed the $23 dollar stay fed as compensation. The parking is ridiculous priced at & $60.50 a night. The water in the bathroom was slow draining and even stayed in the sink overnight. The elevator took forever and we ended up using the stairs. I will say the property is conveniently placed to the local attractions. Overall I was not pleased with my stay. I don’t think I’d stay here again.
