Perfect location, really close to the beach & good places to eat. Reserving parking made everything easier. Very clean & cute. The bidet in the bathroom was great.

Bed was really firm, not super comfortable. Not much insulation in the walls, could hear next people over using the bathroom & it got cold in the room. Pressing the buttons on the AC/heat unit made the TV exit whatever app it was running, very odd, & trying to figure out the unit was a bit frustrating. The cushions outside on the little patio were too small to be useful or comfortable--a larger chair or ottoman might work better.

Our studio kitchenette was perfect for what we needed for our 4 day getaway. We wanted to be able to make our own breakfast and the little kitchen gave us flexibility with our dining options. Nice upgrades in the unit. The location is perfect, super close to both the bay and a short walk to the beach.

There are still a few hiccups while finishing up renovations, but really no complaints. We had a nice comfortable stay.

Very nice rooms, recently decorated, separate seating area in the studio, large fridge, and cooking supply. Very nice personnel, lenient towards late-checkout when possible.

View on the bottom studios is non-existent (walls of other apartments in front). Parking is now available but against surcharge (although when I arrived during the transition of this policy, I was not charged: see compliment personnel). The walls are thin - loud neighbors would be problematic.

I loved everything about this hotel. I came here for my wedding day/ first night of the honey moon and let me tell you. This place treated us so well. I am over the moon with this place and will recommend anyone I know to stay there. I can’t pick a favorite part because it was all so great.

There is nothing I didn’t like. Other than the fact no hotel will compare to this place. It is truly a 10/10.

Beautiful rooms!!! Amazing location! I will say, when we initially arrived, I freaked out - no front desk, no one answering the phone… I was worried we had gotten into a bad situation. Later, the manager called me and eased all of my concerns. We would definitely stay here again!!!

There was still ongoing updates and construction going on - but none of it interfered with late hours.

Had everything we could’ve needed in a great location! Staff were extremely helpful and quick responding to any queries. Clean and well decorated!

Walls are maybe a little thin, with noise travelling through from other units.

Loved the location-one block from ocean beach. Retro vibe was very cool. Private hot tub was nice to unwind in.

Keyless entry needed to be lighted. Difficult to see at night to enter code.

Perfect location and cozy. It was not what we were expecting. It had everything we needed and very clean.

We liked everything. It would’ve been nice to get wifi password at check in time.
