The staff was nice if you're looking for luxury this place is not for you the bathroom was dirty with sand and hair the windows had no screens there is no AC they gave us a fan that was useless
They charged me $18 dollar extra at check in mentioned it was supposed to be collected by Expedia! I paid in full online when reserved the room, no AC! In Such a hot summer night, there was no "Continental breakfast" only coffee in the office!
Great location.
Wish rooms were cleaner, and more fans accessible for people staying. Customer service aspect, we had to wait for someone to come and help us. We called and no one answered, open sign was posted on door but no one was inside, no sign stating they would return shortly. Quite a bit frustrating when your trying to check in.

Parking was an issue. The guest were a bit loud but its basically a party area. Great location! Beach two blocks away. The hotel was a bit run down but had it's charm. My only comlaint was parking and a not so great running toilet, a plugged tub and no A/C. Otherwise friendly staff and great location. don't expect the Marriot, it has an old beach charm to it.
I did reserved for beachfront and when I got there asked for 525 for beachfront and when i asked to cancel and I will go back home they said I will loose money and they send me to Ojai
25min away to order hotel.
Very ran down. No a/c, 2 towels for a family of four, jets in bathtub didn’t work and a knob was missing, handle on dresser was missing and our window didn’t lock closed.
