This hotel is centrally located, with an easy short drive to the downtown area with restaurants, shops, etc. and the beautiful beach at Moonlight Beach. The hotel is on the older side, but it’s clean, with plenty of safe parking. We rented a small suite which was actually huge! Plenty of room and a convenient kitchen/living room area. This hotel was great for our quiet getaway, and we would stay again.

I loved our view, although it was super foggy, but we still enjoyed. Offered free breakfast of a variety. I really loved that the beach was a short walking distance. Near a shopping center, liquor store, ice cream, coffee place and more. Quiet and we felt safe. They had a wine opener at the front desk which was a PLUS.

This hotel is in a great location and the rates are more than fair. The staff is very helpful. My room was clean. The big negatives are if you book a room on the eastern end of the hotel where they call “Park View” is actually shopping center parking lot view. There is no park, just a parking lot and freeway view. But the biggest problem on the rooms facing the parking lot and freeway is the excessive freeway noise. I could have paid $15 more to get ocean view and that would have been the best $15 ever spent. The freeway noise was relentless all night.

Very excellent and friendly staff. Our free breakfast was a small buffet, and everything was great, well stocked, and lots of options. The property was beautiful. My only complaint…..the floors were not clean in either of our rooms.

This place looks a lot nicer in the photos. Filter much? The pool area was especially disappointing. The whole place is pretty run down. The first room we got was shockingly depressing. Luckily they were able to move us and the second one wasn’t as bad. The floor was so dirty though, our feet were filthy within seconds. I ended up wearing my sandals inside the whole time. Bathroom was very outdated. Continental breakfast was eh. Staff was nice enough but overall I will not stay here again and would not recommend to family or friends.

The rooms were clean, but a little beat up. Great if you don't look too closely. Walk up and down the hill to the street was ok, though wouldn't be good with physical limitations.
