Parking was good. Fireplace is electric. Note there is no sofa, bath tub or hair dryer. The beds are very high. I awoke several times the first night to my dog crying because he couldn't get on the bed. I moved an arm chair to the bed on night 2.Very noisy as close to 101.

It would be nice to have breakfast with the motels. There’s no instructions on how to turn the gas heater on. The seals on the windows is not good enough and you can still hear the wave crashing and it makes hard to fall sleep. Over all ok
