Front desk staff was outstanding. Stephanie and I think Denise not completely sure on her name both were exceptionally nice and helpful. Location is good parking can be a little tight. Pool area is small and there is no vending but there is a cvs at the end of the block.fairly quiet area.

Rooms have been nicely updated. Staff was top notch. Incredible area, on the weekend, people line up at Wayfarer to grab amazing baked goods and then either walk to the water to relax and eat or go a few doors down to Bird Rock Coffee.

I have stayed at this property several times and it is a nice place to stay. It has been remodeled a few years ago and is very nice inside. The bed is very comfortable. There is a nice pool. My only complaint is that it closes at 10 PM. Is my personal belief that the pool should be open until the morning time. The place is a little bit more expensive than other local hotels and I did have noise issues with the person that was above me because they don’t have carpet which I think is something all hotel should have other than those little complaints. I would definitely stay there again.

Recently completely renovated property. Very nice rooms with large walk-in shower, comfortable beds, nice terrace and big TV. Staff was very friendly and efficient. Located in a quiet residential area with restaurants nearby. Only 2 blocks from the ocean. One plus: Real coffee (no pods or k cups) served in the lobby with a choice of creamers and sweeteners. Tea and hot cocoa available too.
