Very pleased with our stay here. Rooms are immaculate, quiet and smell amazing. Breakfast is in the restaurant and has eggs, bagels, muffins, fruit and other things ready to serve plus you can order a thick waffle from the kitchen. Dining area and nightclub are very reminiscent of 1950's and Italian themed. Location isn't far from some shopping and very close to Hwy 101.

I really love this place to stay at the price point. This is a clean, well situated place in a convenient area, there’s even a restaurant. I find the staff to be very nice. It’s near our favorite beach, so we will keep returning for short trips when we can. Thank you so much for your quaint little spot that we love!

The room was clean, and location was easy to find off the freeway. We would definitely stay here again. The only issue was the room above us was very, very noisy late into the night.
