This is a great place for the quintessential SoCal experience! It is right on the beach and provides easy walking access to bars, restaurants, and strolling/biking on the strand. We sat on the beach, walked to coffee shops, biked on the strand, and did lots of people watching. The staff was great and we really enjoyed our stay.
