As a frequent traveler (Business and pleasure), I've stayed in every type of hotel across the country. I was very pleasantly surprised at the amenities (lobby computer was great for me and the free coffee was a nice plus) but really surprised at the level of service. For the amount of money they charge, the hotel provides a level of courtesy, professionalism, and friendliness that are usually found at hotels that charge twice this rate. It was very close to the beach and various attractions and had easy access to the interstate. Honestly they should probably be charging more for the type of hotel they run. Kids also had a blast at the adjacent minigolf/family arcade.

i drove into the hotel real early, and i wasnt sure if my room was going to be ready due to the fact that i came in early and i had special requests for my room. i was greeted by the front desk clerk travis, he was very proffesional and helpful, my room was rushed and i was in my room within a matter of 15 minutes, the area is great for various activities, there is a lot of restaurants, as well as a theme park next door, and right by the freeway so when i went to my business meetings i was able to jump right on the freeway, the room was real clean the breakfast was great and free, which is a huge bonus for me. i reccomend this hotel to all people who like to be close to the beach without paying the ridiculous prices that hotels in that area charge.

The moment I walked in, I was greeted by the well lit lobby and the front desk worker. Checking in was very fast and no hassle at all, and the receptionist was very welcoming. I had a corner room, so the back window had the freeway behind it, but it was very muted, and even at night I couldn't hear it because I had the fan going. The room was very clean, and the bed was comfortable. I stayed several nights with some friends and we had no problem at all. The housekeeping and front desk did all they could to accomodate us - extra towels for the jacuzzi outside, fresh coffee, whatever.
Free breakfast was pretty good - not "junk" in my opinion since it had waffles and cereal and everything FOR FREE. The area is excellent - plenty of things to do within walking distance if you don't have a car, and several restaurants in the area. The front desk pointed us to several nice diners right across the street, and even called us a cab (cheap fare!) to go downtown and shopping. There's a small amusement park not even across the street, and a skate rink right next to the hotel, and even though both of them run a little late into the night, they're not loud at all for being so nearby. Internet was okay, although a little slow sometimes, and the firewall prevented us from going to video sites like youtube, but it was manageable.
Great stay overall, I really enjoyed it! What I loved most was the furniture and bedding - it was very chic and new. It didn't feel aged at all!

Please take note: If you are a light sleeper, THIS HOTEL IS NOT FOR YOU!! A majority of the rooms (probably 80%) of them back right up to the 405 Freeway (one of the biggest freeways in the LA area). All night I had trucks, cars and motorcycles speeding past my 3rd floor room (shaking the windows) and keeping me awake. The hotel was "full" so the front desk clerk (who was not very friendly by the way) said I could not be moved. The Internet service was also VERY slow (desk clerk told me it was because the hotel was full). Although the rooms were clean and the bedding new, this is an older property with a tiny pool and very few amenities. I will never stay here again.
