  : The location
  : They charge $40 a day for parking in addition to very high rates. There are no dressers in the rooms, no coffee makers, only espresso. No functional garbage cans other than a very small one in the bathroom. I had to ask for extra garbage bags to hold our garbage. The TV Guide doesn’t work so you have to scroll channels, neither does the streaming functions that are indicated on the remote. They tried to modernize the rooms with their remodel but it made the room feel small and non functional. The table barely fits a computer on it and there is only 1 chair. The worst part was the testing of fire alarms every 20 minutes, lasting all day, for the 3 weekdays we stayed! It disturbed our whole purpose of getting away to the beach. No one warned us there was going to be construction while we were there. It was so loud you could hear it from the In N Out. It made relaxing at the beach or taking a nap in the room impossible. It was a highly disturbing sound

  : Location. Beach was walking distance.
  : When we checked in, we received the room keys to a room that was already occupied. Awkward to open the door to someone there. The staff did apologize, but not sure how that happened. The room we had was nice, but the sink was plugged up. We did inform the staff, but nobody showed up to unplug it.
