The rooms are clean and spacious and the views of the ocean from the balcony are great. Parking is a bit expensive, but the location is great.Theres always lots of boardwalk traffic in front of the hotel, and very close by are several restaurants and bars for entertainment. Its great for a beach getaway and conveniently close to San Diego.
