Much needed weeknd getaway on the coast
The room was amazing. Got the ocean view suite. The heater wasnt working, but the staff was prompt with bringing us a space heater. The view from the patio was nice.

Couple Retreat
Room #2, overall it was a great. What’s negative about over stay was that the mattress could be changed…it was a bit caved in and the patio blind was unable to close. Price for the room was reasonable so would stay there again.

A Few Small Touches Would Help A Lot
I want to love this hotel, but...
With just a few small things it could be so much better! Like, put a real coffee pot in the lobby. Maybe a few snacks, too. Get rid of the towels that have holes in them. Tighten the screws on the doorknobs. Real cups and glasses in the rooms. These are inexpensive, small items that would go a long way in upping their appeal.

Just staying for the night, but it's a nice quiet location, well not talking about the PCH, and ocean sounds those just come with starting feet from both. Clean ,good size room with a balcony and ocean view. Got to see the sunset last night, it was pretty awesome. Just bring warm clothes and a blanket it gets windy.

Had a great time. Booked the ocean view penthouse. Room was perfect. In room ice maker, and Keurig coffee machine were ideal. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and very convenient to downtown San Francisco.

The rooms are spacious and did not disappoint. It was just as seen in the photos. Walking distance from food, gas station, and the beach. The only problem we had was the bed. It is extremely uncomfortable that we were constantly waking up every hour with back pain. :( Other than that this place would have been perfect. I love the set up of the room.
