The hotel offers a gorgeous partial ocean view that you can truly enjoy, featuring clean, up-to-date, and spacious rooms with gorgeous balconies. On the downside, the bathroom cleanliness could be improved, and it's unfortunate that the freeway noise hinders the full oceanic experience.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were luxurious, clean, modern, and had extremely comfortable beds, making for a truly relaxing experience. The location was awesome, right next to a public beach path, allowing easy access to the beach any time I wanted. Although some noise above the check-in area could be heard, the overall experience was fantastic.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms needed a total remodel and didn't offer the expected view, but overall, my stay was enjoyable with a lovely balcony overlooking the pool. The service had its ups and downs, with issues needing attention, but the staff was super friendly and helpful. Location-wise, being right at the beach was fantastic, although the facilities were somewhat lacking. The dining experience was delicious, despite a small hiccup about voucher prices at reception.
