A motel. Very expensive for what it is — but they’ve invested a great deal in fixtures, furniture, finishes, and for all of that effort I wanted to give it a 5. Unfortunately the traffic noise on El Camino is inescapable, and the staff are often hard to find, not at the desk, have a bell to ring but never come out. And you’ll get your bottled water the first night, but they’ll refuse you any more when you pay for a second night (at $256 a night). If you ask nicely you’ll get a little speech about reducing plastic waste for your trouble. A false economy at the price, silly, needlessly annoying. $180/night would be more fair for what and where the property is. Just $0.02 to management.

Small hotel with very few people working. Bathrooms need to be scrubbed down I heard this from many guests. DAily service didn't always happen. Breakfast was good and convenient. The patio area would be nice when the weather is good.

The exception not the rule
Check in was great, directed us where to find our room not just on a map but walking us to the beginning of the hallway where it was located. We’ve stayed here about 6 times. We’ve always been happy with the hotel. This was the smallest room. The dresser had something sticky on the top. Super icky!!!! That being said the other stays were perfectly fine
