This hotel is really welcoming, clean and convenient. It was my family's favourite spot even though it was possibly the cheapest night of our trip around California. Our kids loved the little breakfast room, especially the pancake machine! Staff were really friendly and the whole place had a really relaxed vibe. Located just opposite the beach, it had a fire pit, heated pool and hot tub. A great place to stay!
