This place is overselling itself. It is a thoroughly decent small, not luxury, hotel next to a beach on Balboa Peninsula, that is it, period. It is NOT a resort so their $30 resort fee is misleading (as it is with virtually all hotels) and just a trick to get you pay more for your room.

Hotel room was very small and very pricey. Hilton in hb was $75 more and was a better room and size was better. Wish I would have stayed there.
