The place had a fun hip vibe, but they purposefully overbooked and gave our reservation away.

The place had a hip vibe

They had overbooked and since we booked on this platform they gave our room away. I spent a lot of time choosing this spot and booking it, and when we arrived (my friend and both of our 13 year old daughters), we were so disappointed that they had GIVEN OUR BOOKING AWAY. We arrived around 6:00 pm after a day at the boardwalk-- hungry and tired and ready to get off our feet and relax. They did put us up at another hotel. Thank goodness, and the other hotel was actually nicer (though a bit of a drive and further from town--my friend was very annoyed and I felt awful because I had arranged our booking). However, the manager offered us a future night free at their hotel to hlep make up for all the inconvenience. He said to just email him. I emailed and called and never heard back. Kind of disappointing to say the least. We were excited to hot tub, but could see that it was closed and roped off anyway. Things happen and hot tubs breakdown. I get that--but flat out overbooking your hotel and telling us that it's just like how AIRPLANES operate seemed ridiculous. Sorry, but this has never happened to me at a hotel before.

Nice place, lively and vibrant.

There was a bit more of a buzz than I was expecting here which was nice, the restaurant and bar is in a great location giving the place a lot of energy.

Not as close to the boardwalk or downtown as I was expecting but that was on me, I had a car though so it wasn't an issue

They had no AC in our room all weekend which sucked and provided fans that didn’t help.

I would gladly return

Being surprised! For starters, the onsite restaurant was excellent. Our wait staff was someone I would want to hire if I ran a restaurant! She represented herself, the restaurant and the kitchen with professional class and friendliness. (And I regret that I forget her name - but she more than earned her tip!) The room? It was comfortable and very sufficient for our needs. And the bed: I booked this hotel for reviews of the hotel's beds, as my wife doesn't usually sleep well on any hotel bed. Not Paradox: she slept very well and very comfortably. ("Maybe WE should get a bed like this one??" she commented.)

Nothing really...everything about our stay was great.

Booking.com was awful I purchased a certain room that did not exist

The hotel itself was nice booking.com never ever use this service You sold me one room then booking.com switched it I have evidence and will contact attorney unless booking.com gets back yo me. Again this is my 3rd attempt communication

Booking through rhis service was a huge miss. I've sent two other messages and No response. Please respond 818 823 1005 [email protected]

Nice hotel, bad sound insolation between the rooms.

The hotel is nice, clean and well designed.

We could hear everything from the other room, the sound insulation is just BAD! We tried to sleep but couldn't because of that. On top of the noise from the other room, there was a washing machine literally above our room, which made noise.

Friendly helpful staff, good location next to downtown, comfortable beds, but not worth the money.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was great for us and what we were there to do. The beds were very comfortable. Even though we didn't bring our dog it was great seeing other dogs around.

The room was oddly laid out so that you had to go through the bathroom with a glass shower to get to the closet. If it were just my wife and I that would work ok but it wasn't a good thing for our teenage son. The lighting in the room was all from compact florescent bulbs. Our room had two queen beds and each bed had one light over the bedside table between the beds but no light on the other side of either bed, which meant two people couldn't sit in the same bed and read at night. Also, there were no bedside tables on the "outer" sides of either bed. There was one chair in the room that was not very comfortable to sit in and didn't completely work. The toilet seat was loose which is one of those things a housekeeping person could have relayed to facilities so it could be fixed but someone in that chain didn't care enough to do it.

Overall a good comfortable stay.

Beautiful property with excellent decor

The staff did not make our room the next day until we told them. We asked for toothbrushes which they said they will send to the room but never did. We had to get them the next morning. The pillows are a bit too bulky.

A very good hotel to stop before going to SanFransisco

There was a pretty big heated pool and a great bar area. They also had a hot tub. Food and cocktails were great. The room was big and the beds were very good.

There was some misunderstanding regarding the payment of breakfast. Booking offered breakfast, which is included in the price, but the bill was presented on the spot. In the end, the good young man at the counter realized that there had been some confusion and still did not take it into account. All good

Cozy room, cleanly, unique decor

Groovy spot. Very comfy room. Unique, cleanly, with a great beach vibe. A great choice for a more “boutique” feel vs. cookie cutter hotel. I would stay here again

It’s a decent walk from the beach, but there’s lots of public parking available close to the beaches/cliff. $25/night parking was a bummer. I wasn’t aware of that prior to arriving. Maybe I missed that in the reservation process.

Okay. Nice bar / restaurant area

Rooms were exterior / outside of the hotel reception, lounge, restaurant and bar, in motel style. Receptionist had a very unpleasant, rude energy, he needs to learn some manners and respect.

Convenient comfortable place that needs some upgrading

Pool area was once very hip but now is looking really tired. Hot tub was not 100% clean or hot.

I didn’t love the location and the hotel restaurant was way overpriced

A wonderful stay - we would love to visit again!

The interior was lovely (although undergoing renovation so didn’t see the full effect) Also loved the pool area and outside car service. Very relaxing after a busy day! Ps we left our travel plugs and chargers. Went back a few days later - nothing too much trouble. Reception managed to locate and return them to us! 😊

Nothing!

Very good

The swimming pool are was fantastic, including the ability to have drinks, served by a very kind and humorous waiter ! The room was nice, comfortable, and clean. Breakfast was very good too.

Hotel was under renovation, the whole restaurant was closed. we knew it, but it was annoying. Breakfast service was extremely slow.

Disappointing.

The pool was the only really good thing about this hotel

It was more like a motel than a hotel. It was way overpriced. It was worth about half of what was charged.

it was a nice, clean and comfortable hotel experience.

enjoyed how clean and modern the rooms are. me and my partner got a good nights sleep the room was very comfortable and we felt safe at this hotel as two women traveling together. I would definitely book here again.

the only thing I didn’t like is that even though there was a lot of parking for some reason the parking was almost filled up when me and my partner returned late from a concert but everything else went great.
