Lovely hotel. Front desk was friendly. Rooms are clean. Beds were very comfortable on my bad back. Only complaint with the room is that we had an adjoining door that allowed a lot of sound to travel from the next room and wake us up early one morning. 100% would come here again

Friendly staff and cleaning staff very friendly. The walls are too thin, next door neighbors were very loud, people above us were very loud. We were concerned if we were to complain, the neighbors would make things worse. Not sure if we will be going back. Thank you JC

The property is beginning to show its age. Although, clean and cozy, it still needs a mid level renovation. The rooms are stuck in the 70s Pismo fashion.

Great location, friendly staff and best sleep ever

A one day stop after dropping of my son at UCLA for a break from the long drive home. Staff was very helpful and friendly and I felt very welcomed. Offered suggestions for different restaurant options. The biggest plus for me was how quiet it was whether the walls and floors were well insulated or I was just lucky, but I had the best sleep in a hotel EVER!
