  My friend and I stayed here for three nights last week. We asked to have our rooms next to each other and they moved our rooms without any issue. We were on the main floor. We can hear other guests in the hallway. Both of our rooms were clean. The bed was comfortable, a/c worked fine, and the bathroom was spacious. The shower is a bit worn down and I wouldn’t shower without flip flops on, but I do that at every hotel I stay in so nothing out of ordinary for myself. Location was easy to find and get to, beautiful beach up the road. I think it was a tad pricey for how far it is from the touristy things to do but it worked out because we found some local eats that were delicious. The walmart next door was a bonus touch for a snack run before our point lobos hike. Huge props to housekeeping for the upkeep of the hotel! The hot tub and sauna were both out of service and it seems that it’s been that way for a while. I was looking forward to using them both so that was a bummer. That should be addressed asap.

  Clean room and free breakfast. Located very close to the beach and CSUMB. There are a lot of dining options in the immediate area.

  Our tour brought us here and it is a nice hotel near HWY. it is not close to anything though. Room is spacious, clean and toilet is big too. The only thing i don't like the bathroom is the shower, if they can add hand hold shower head, will be good. they have included breakfast and i found not bad at all. Hot food is not much choice but there are many things to eat. there is free coffee and tea table. very nice !

  I booked this hotel for one night using rewards points I'd earned, so it came at no monetary cost. However, after staying here, I definitely would have paid to stay in this location. I was pleasantly surprised at every turn; not sure why this place only has 3.8 stars. Staff were friendly and accommodating, and breakfast was awesome. Room was very clean and well decorated, and the bathroom was large and modern-feeling. My wife and I only stayed here for one night, but we absolutely would have extended our stay if needed. A great option for a more affordable hotel in this area. The location itself isn't the best (mostly given the proximity to Walmart and other businesses) but the fact that it's so close to the beach totally makes up for it. I would definitely stay here again.
