When I arrived I was told complimentary valet parking and turns out they charge $60 or something like that when you go to check out. Room was thin walls and we heard our neighbors which woke us up at 7am. Hotel was very empty but they put us next door to loud neighbors with 20 plus rooms empty in both directions. Stay at a better hotel. This one is not worth the money.

Nice hotel. Horrible staff and management
Beautiful convenient hotel but terrible incompetent staff from top to bottom. Front desk manager Amir was wrong and smug about it. Imagine being wrong and smug. Stuff like that will get your blood boiling. Voice complaint to operation manager Sydney and was promised a call back. Never received one. These people aren't qualified to service a motel 6 but yet here they are to ruin your vacation

Nickel and dime resort - four seasons prices for holiday inn service. Staff was young, inexperienced, took 30 minutes to get our luggage in our room. There was a crib in our room for some reason for the entirety of the stay as well. 55 a day for valet is a joke, so is their coffee shop, and the hotel restaurant is just new agey tripe. No way is this place worth the $$.

Love this hotel and the area. Rooms are wonderful, restaurant is quite good. The town is a typical CA beach town with a mix of casual and good restaurants along with some quirky yet quaint shops and businesses. Close to outlet malls. Great road biking all around. Beaches are best for surfing, a bit of a drive for sandy beaches.

The hotel is beautiful, the check in was a little disappointing especially for such a high end place. We got to the hotel about 20 minutes before check in time, so not super early and were told our room still wasn’t ready and that they would text us when it was. An hour later we were still waiting so we went back to the front desk to check and they apologized and said our room was ready. Having to wait well past check in time for a top notch resort was just a bit disappointing.
