Upon parking our vehicle, the parking lot, building, and area were well kept and clean. The fragrance in the lobby was fresh & clean. The decor and furnishings were up to date. The room was clean, the bed comfortable, and the furnishings up to date. We loved how there was extra ports to charge our devices and beside outlets by the night stands. It's great for people like us who have to sleep with CPAP's. We were overall pleased!

The “ketchup lady”..and I won’t name the type of service area this person would be in, just to not name names, but I told her she forgot the ketchup, and she got very defensive, and she told me that she never makes that kind of mistake. I had just woken up in this beautiful room with a beautiful view of the ocean with my beautiful wife, and going downstairs to pick up my breakfast and I went back up to my room, the ketchup was...

My son is a Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton and suggested this hotel. I read the reviews and decided to give it a try. I stayed only one night, but would love to go back for a longer stay. The property is somewhat dated, but is being updated in every aspect. My room was really spacious and comfortable. By far the biggest room I've every stayed in for the price. The staff at the front desk were extremely helpful. I met Adele, the manager of Adele's Diner, and both she and her staff were...

This sweet little hotel is our little getaway away from home and the owners made us feel so welcome and appreciated! Maru (I hope that's how you spell or say her name) at the front desk was the kindest hotel owner I have spoken to and was extremely accommodating and kind. The view was amazing from the top floor and the new renovations look great! She gave us a newly renovated room and we couldn't have been more grateful after a stressful week. Our stay was peaceful and quiet, just what we...
