Stayed here week of 5/12-5/17. The location is awesome- walking distance to shops, restaurants, beach. Gorgeous views! Now onto the hotel. Modern and clean lobby. Above average tasting free breakfast. 24/7 free coffee and tea in lobby. Water bottle filling station in lobby. This is a unique Holiday Inn express- motel style layout. You will be exposed to the outdoors getting from lobby to your room. And apparently Northern California is still cold (in May)! The room we got was spacious, updated, clean. However the windows are old and drafty blew in cold air mornings, thankfully the heat turned on. every noise from outside -cars on the street and fellow hotel guests could be heard inside (yes even at 3am). New windows and better sound proofing/insulation needed. Overall it was a good stay due to aforementioned positives. However due to the negatives probably would not pick this hotel for more than 1-2 night stay.
