This is an older seaside property that shows its age on the exterior but the rooms are excellent. 3 stars is a good rating. Comfortable 12" mattress, remodeled rooms and bathrooms and a very good price point. I drove up the coast and back and in staying a second night.

Overall good value. The pool and hot tub provided a wonderful view of the sunset over the Pacific. Good restaurants nearby. Took me a while to work out how to get the tv channels from Spanish to English. The Gideon bible was appreciated and inspiring.
