The staff was friendly and helpful. Free parking on site. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was pretty small. And the bathroom door is just a sliding barn door style board which doesn’t offer much privacy. Overall we were satisfied and would stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Employee who checked me in was very welcoming and friendly. Parking was free and easy. Room was decorated nice and clean although some things could be retouched or deep cleaned, not a big deal. The overall value for what it was plus the proximity to the freeway and beach was excellent. Only major issue was the street noise that can be heard even with the windows closed; it kept me up at night.

I have stayed here twice now and love it every time. The rooms are updated & have new appliances and furniture. Great location right across from Del Mar and El Camino Real with shopping and dining. Modern beach feel and decor, super comfortable, and AFFORDABLE. Only complaint I had with my most recent stay is that the TV in our room was very laggy and slow. Other than that everything was perfect

Cute little hotel. Very clean close to food and beach! It’s right by the freeway and on a busy street so it’s kind of loud. But, other then that great place!
