PACIFIC PARADISE 49 steps to beach Stunning View!
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, 16 reviews
"Location was perfect. Walking down to the beach every morning and having coffee on the pier was exactly what I was looking for. Place was stocked with everything you need for the beach, beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, frisbee. Only thing I missed was a bbq. There is a big deck downstairs but no bbq. Minor thing, really, but missed it. Great view for the sunset, dipping behind Catalina Island. Well stocked with towels, and everything you need in the kitchen. Thank you."

"Nice hotel, the rooms are big, looks like it was built in the '70s so it's not the most updated facility. But it's got a lot for a family to do, it's got nice games and a pool on site that are all clean and fun to do. The beach is close by, a short 2-minute drive or somewhat strenuous hike as it's a steep Street. I like the place, my room was over 600 square feet and the price was excellent. The staff were fantastic. Really good, even the restaurant had fantastic staff at the bar and their...

"The staff was lovely, the property maintained beautifully, the rooms current and well-kept. Parking is easy and free, under the hotel, with elevator directly from there to your floor. Hallways to rooms are bright and wide. Beds comfortable and linens crisp. Sheets are a bit rough, but not annoyingly so. Bathroom is roomy enough to be very accommodating. Rooms are serviced daily and all supplies and linens are restocked. In-room refrigerator works well. Ice machine is well maintained. TV options...
