We were able to bring our little dogs. Needed a king bed which they had for us. Our grandkids live close to BM and were allowed to use the pool with us. Staff is probably the friendliest group that I ever had during our a stay in OC. Look to return next year!!

The staff was very friendly and informative when asked questions. The place is quiet, clean and the beds are very confortable. Housekeeper provides with anything needed right away. Located very close to the beach and Coconuts Bar and Grill where they play life music and serve food and alcohol at the beach. Nice place, we’d stay at this hotel again.
