Id definitely stay here again. I just stayed at a 5 star hotel in Hawaii and the bathroom was way better than the bathroom at the Hawaii hotel. Staff was very friendly. Check in was quick. Breakfast was free and delivered to your room and you're right on the beach! Can't beat it!

We are here for the second time and are having a wonderful time again. The staff is very friendly and polite, and the room is clean and spacious enough. Especially if you have a balcony with an ocean view. The bed and pillows are comfortable. Be ready to pay an additional for parking $25, but parking is important for that busy area. Definitely will return to this place again. Thanks a lot for people who support comfort in this hotel.

Rooms are spacious-big bathroom, comfortable bed. There is no restaurant or bar. they do bring you a continental breakfast to your room every morning which was really nice. It’s right off of Cannery Row so it was a little louder than I would have liked.
