This place is overselling itself. It is a thoroughly decent small, not luxury, hotel next to a beach on Balboa Peninsula, that is it, period. It is NOT a resort so their $30 resort fee is misleading (as it is with virtually all hotels) and just a trick to get you pay more for your room.

Parking is horrible. Valet is offered, but needs to be more controlled because of beach traffic, we and others had no idea where to go for valet. Elevator is old and scary. The toilet was not working properly. The pillows were very dingy and there was sand in the bed, not sure if the bedding was changed from the previous tenant. Pricey but nice location to the beach. Staff was great.
