Great breakfast, nice horn, friendly staff, quiet, good location

On the positive side, the staff was friendly and helpful. Beach was nearby. Train noise until almost midnight. My biggest issue was a problem with the shower. It wouldn’t put out hot water. Then I was told that the faucet handle had to be set at a very specific spot (which maintenance marked with a sharpie). I don’t understand why they don’t just fix the faucet. How many people will stay in that room and have the same problem?

Unfortunately it was a bad experience for us because of the room condition. Sink wasn’t draining. Beds are not comfortable other than that was okay

Great location across from the beach. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the waves before we went to dinner and a concert. Very beachy vibe, great breakfast and friendly staff.
3.0
Room was large and clean. It was very noisy 2 out of the 3 nights we stayed. No blackout curtains. Maid kept taking all the towels that didn’t need to be changed and leaving us without towels and we had to then ask for towels to be replaced both days. Complimentary breakfast was good and parking also good.
8.0
Property could use updating but the clientele and staff are always friendly and go above and beyond. Family feel.
4.0
the only complaint i have is the pictures basically show your sitting on the beach if you go out the patio.
this place is across a VERY busy street.
you do have a beautiful ocean view. and there is a balcony. but is no where near the sand.
was expecting to sleep with the door open and hear the waves.
that was NOT an option.

Beautiful area, right next to beach

The gentleman that checked us in was very nice and the hotel looked nice on the outside but the room, although it was large, was sparsely furnished and strongly smelled like smoke. There were trsin tracks right across the highway that we were not aware of with trains running very often. Pretty noisy. The view of the ocean and sunset were definitely the highlights of this hotel.

This is the second time that I stayed here. It’s a shabby beach hotel but it’s ok. The rooms were pretty clean but run down. Our door was damaged from being kicked in. My imagination was going wild with what might have happened. Our curtain was broken and hung down. There was a missing knob on the bathroom vanity. But it’s across the street from the beach and you can’t beat that. All this being said. I’ll stay there again.

The location of the property is great and had convenient access to the beach. We couldn’t enjoy our balcony due to the amount of ants. There were also ants in our bathroom and around the sink. We had trouble connecting to the WiFi and when we asked for assistance, staff could not help.

My girlfriend and Istayed at the property in a King sized room that had a view of the ocean from the third floor. Convenient on site parking, friendly staff, and was perfect for us. We had a great time at the beach that was right across the street and used the hotel as a base of operation while we visited the surrounding parts of California.

Very good mid priced hotel. Great service and location. The supplied breakfast was good and included a view of the ocean. The room was well appointed, however well used and could stand for minor updates.
6.0
This Best Western Plus was not as welcoming a facility as their website suggests. It is somewhat aged, confining, and the parking is all under the structure and confined. Their breakfast was traditional and nothing out of the ordinary. The staff was particularly helpful. We would not return..

We booked a room expecting a balcony with an ocean view. No such luck. We got a room in the back of the complex with no view other than the courtyard. Very disappointed. The volume on the TV didn’t work, the bed frame was sticking out (wife ran into it twice) , and there were ants. The lady checking us in was sweet but sooooo slow. The manager fixed the bed and the TV , but nothing could be done about the room. The free breakfast was meh! We will not be returning.

The floor was so dirty that when we took a shower the shower floor turned black. Reported this to the manager First night and the problem still occurred. On our day of departure after three days there was urine in the stairwell.

Overall it was good. The bed is very very squeaky. The toilet was clogged and we had to wait a long time for a plunger.

We had stayed at a different hotel for four days prior to our stay here. Although it was on the ocean and had a beautiful view, it was old And outdated. The service was not great. We were pleasantly surprised when we had our last night. Stay here. It was clean. It was updated. The breakfast was wonderful. The staff was amazing. We will be coming back here anytime we are in the SoCal area.

Across the street from wide beach. Have to drive to find any food. Nothing but motels and condos along PCH here.
Nice uncrowded beach though, and hot tub was nice.
