Travel tips

Because the hotel is on the Pacific Coast Highway, expect traffic activity and plan for potential road noise at night. With free parking, it’s convenient to drive to nearby attractions such as MOLAA (about 1.7 km) and the waterfront area around Shoreline Village and the Aquarium (around 3.3–3.4 km). If you rely on multiple bedside power needs (for example medical devices), consider bringing an extension cord as some guests report limited outlet placement.

What guests say

Guests commonly describe the property as a budget-value option with some positives around service and a sense of security. Cleanliness and condition feedback is mixed: some mention clean rooms and refreshed paint/tile, while others report odors and concerns about bedding and stains. Noise is a recurring issue due to the busy main-street location and overnight sirens/traffic. Practical room usability items come up as well, including limited or inconvenient outlet placement and occasional maintenance/fixture complaints, alongside generally good A/C performance.
