We ended up not staying at this property, because they do not have any downstairs rooms and they don't have an elevator. The gentleman at the desk was kind enough to locate alternative lodging for us. The place is nowhere near the Seal Beach Pier - it's not even in Seal Beach. I think that descriptor should be removed from your advertising.

The room was very clean, very comfortable, nicely updated and had a great shower with great pressure. The staff was very nice and waved every time we saw them! Housekeeping was perfect. The location was great, with both Huntington Beach and Long Beach just minutes down the road opposite directions. There were also some very good local restaurants right next to the hotel. We loved Woody's and Taco Surf!
