Upon parking our vehicle, the parking lot, building, and area were well kept and clean. The fragrance in the lobby was fresh & clean. The decor and furnishings were up to date. The room was clean, the bed comfortable, and the furnishings up to date. We loved how there was extra ports to charge our devices and beside outlets by the night stands. It's great for people like us who have to sleep with CPAP's. We were overall pleased!

My son is a Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton and suggested this hotel. I read the reviews and decided to give it a try. I stayed only one night, but would love to go back for a longer stay. The property is somewhat dated, but is being updated in every aspect. My room was really spacious and comfortable. By far the biggest room I've every stayed in for the price. The staff at the front desk were extremely helpful. I met Adele, the manager of Adele's Diner, and both she and her staff were...

We very much enjoyed our stay. We left Los Angeles after the Palisades and Eaton fires began and are glad we found this place. The 1bdrm was perfect for our family of 3. The property is right up next to PCH so it can get noisy but it was wonderful to hear the waves at night. We also appreciated the bridge access to the beach, it was convenient. Not much to walk to though but there were stores within a 5min drive away.

Beautiful location. A little busy though. There were two weddings and a huge baby shower the weekend we were there. We had a ground level suite with a patio and we felt like we were in a fishbowl because the events were right off of our patio. Most of the staff were phenomenal and exceptionally good at their jobs. A few of the staff were a little clueless and contradicted their exceptional colleagues. The food was really exceptional. Perhaps the best resort food I have ever experienced.
