"Absolutely loved our 6 night stay here, we will be back and have already recommended to others . we Ubered to the sister location and the check in process was super easy since we had prepaid. We took the short walk to our hotel and we stayed in room 203. A great sized room that was very hot when we entered but the powerful a/c cooled the room down while we took a short walk to Oscar’s for dinner. Our bed and bathroom were cleaned up every morning while we went to breakfast. The only problem I had with the room is the shower had a sewage smell that was unpleasant but we knew the shower was clean and figured it was a drain issue. Next time I think we’ll splurge on an ocean view. We walked to breakfast lunch and dinner everyday on the boardwalk it was truly amazing. We called to check out on our way to the airport so both check in and check out were super easy for us. Received no random/extra charges after the stay. The little kitchen area was so convenient we used the bowls and silverware to have our leftovers which was also super convenient and they did our dishes for us everyday. The hotel leads right to a public bathroom and very easy access to the beach. The beach was reserved for surfing only but we took a short walk past the pier and enjoyed getting in the ocean over there. About a 2 mile walk to mission beach. I saw other reviews complain about the noise but we didn’t hear anything from the boardwalk during our stay"

"The room was amazing. It had a great ocean, beach, and boardwalk view. The bed was SO comfortable. I tend to toss and turn a lot during the night. But the bed did not translate that movement to the other person in the queen bed."
