My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was fantastic, with easy access to downtown and the beach. The service was friendly and accommodating, but the room wasn't prepared on time and had some cleanliness issues. The dining experience was average, and the facilities were decent.

Rooms

5.0

The room, unfortunately, was not ready at check-in time and had a funny smell, indicating it may not have been used recently. Although facing a good direction, it was noisy due to its proximity to the stairs. The floor was also dirty upon arrival.

Service

The service was very kind and cordial, and the staff was friendly. However, there were jokes about possibly raising rates due to high demand, which may not have been well-received by guests.

I had a last-minute stay at the hotel, and while the room was comfortable with a refrigerator and microwave, it was far too expensive and noisy. The beds were cozy, and I appreciated having a refrigerator, microwave, and individual coffeemaker in the room.

Rooms

The room was comfortable with the amenities like a refrigerator and microwave, but it was a bit noisy and pricey for a last-minute booking.

Service

The service was great overall, except for one older woman during check-in. However, when the manager realized we were newly married, they offered us a better room with a jacuzzi for the same price, which was a lovely gesture.

Location

The location was excellent, just a short walk from downtown and the beach. Easy access from Ventura Highway, and the friendliest staff made the stay convenient and enjoyable. However, it felt a bit sketchy to walk around at night.

The hotel has a functional setup with clean, spacious, and newly renovated rooms. However, there was a funny smell, almost like it hadn't been used in a while due to the freeway being closed. The service was friendly and knowledgeable, with a slight initial stress upon arrival but improving the next day. The location is conveniently positioned for wheelchair access, near historic buildings, restaurants, and the beach. The dining experience offered a good selection but was affected by ongoing breakfast area renovation. The facilities are well-maintained and include gyudon dishes.

The service seemed a little stressed at first but became more welcoming and friendly. The older woman who checked us in was less so, but overall, the staff went overboard to be nice.

Location

The location is perfect, offering easy access to Ventura Highway, a short walk to downtown with its restaurants and historic buildings, and a slightly longer walk to the beach. Although lacking charm, the area is nice in a beach community.

Dining

The dining included a good selection during breakfast renovations but was fantastic in general, with a variety of options like waffles, hard-boiled eggs, juices, muffins, and coffee. The gyudon dishes provided another enjoyable dining option.
