Hotel is outdated. The room had lovely views of the ocean, you have to look past the north and southbound 101, but the view is great. There were 3 large windows in our room, none opened. It smelled/felt a bit musty. There are no elevators at all in the hotel-so be prepared if you brought a lot of luggage, or have a stroller or wheelchair. We use Hotels.com all the time to book our trips, and this is the first time we had an issue checking in. On hotels.com website it states there is a fireplace. We did not have one. We booked an ocean view suite and when I went to find out about the fireplace, the front desk employee stated, "This is why you should book directly through us and not a third party, they make mistakes. The fireplace comes with the standard room only." Also, the security door lock did not meet the door, so housekeeping was able to come right in when I didn't respond to them, because I was showering. We will not be staying there again.
