Nice for solo trip
The service was great and the front desk employees and valet were really nice. I appreciated the late checkout and help with beach amenities. I wish I used the bikes and beach chairs more. The hotel could use some updates and walls are thin. Otherwise, I enjoyed this option for my solo trip!

This property is outdated, smelly, moldy and musty. Don’t be fooled by the beautiful lobby. The hallways are dingy and dark and they smell like a porta-potty. Rooms are tiny and have a musty smell. My allergies went crazy because I’m allergic to mold. I couldn’t wait to leave the hotel. We stayed one night on our way up to Big Sur. I could barely sleep at night. There were all sorts of sounds. The sound of banging pipes, footsteps from above, and there was a weird knocking sound as if someone was hitting a credit card against the nightstand. I also felt a very strange heavy energy in our room. Not sure if it’s haunted or what, but I felt off the moment I stepped into the room. The valet parking fee is insane as is the resort fee. We luckily found street parking and had the resort fee waived. We checked out at 7:30am because we just couldn’t wait to leave.
