Al, Sammy and Ed are among the most friendliest hosts we have ever seen, and you could tell that friendliness is genuine. The rooms were clean, the beds were perfectly comfortable, and along with the sufficiently spacious refrigerator and microwave, provided a great home base. and we say homebase because that ocean right outside the window is what you come for, which brings us to another great point about the hotel: they have posted signs gently reminding everybody not to be too loud and to be respectful to all fellow guests which everybody happily followed, and that felt very nice. Because we didn’t come to listen to loud music or loud parties next-door, we came to listen to that ocean, and when you open your window on the ocean side, that’s all you hear day and night. And even if you get a room on the street side instead, the same quiet rule applies and I imagine the 150 steps to your own ocean beach is not a bad Plan B. Our stay was a delight from the first minute to the last minute and we will try to make it back every year.
