It's a beautiful property, with clean, spacious rooms. The happy hour and breakfast are an added bonus. We walked 2 blocks to the beach in the morning, and when it was time to leave, we hopped on the freeway just up the street. It was quiet and peaceful overnight. The front desk staff couldn't have been nicer. We'll be back!
