    Amazing location, literally steps to the beach. The staff is very welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The rooms are superb, parisian beach vibes, especially the bathroom. The bed is very spacious and comfortable. The windows are semi operable, so you can let the wonderful and natural California weather in. Exquisite panaromic views from the outdoor rooftop areas.
