Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was spacious, 2 King beds! Roomy bathroom with ample counter space. Good water pressure in the tub/shower combo. Easy access off the parking lot. Comfortable bed. Loved the gas fireplace! It put off quite a bit of heat which was nice for the chilly evenings/mornings. Nice view of the beach/ocean from the patio area behind the pool. About 5 min walk down to the actual beach with LOTS of stairs. It's an older facility, so there was some visible wear & tear. Only complaints are the floor was pretty dirty - crumbs under the table and chairs, stuff stuck to the flooring, goldfish cracker under the bed frame. Also, the windows were difficult to maneuver and the screens were bent.

Overall great location. Bathrooms need complete refresh. Staff very friendly. Ease on/off to Hwy 101. Be prepared to pay $10/daily for parking. Use to be free guess this is there version of resort fee without calling it that.
