Although our check-in experience was less than stellar, in general the hotel is as expected in its category. The housekeeping and service staff were very nice and helpful. I wiped the room and toilet with some wipes and they were clean! Breakfast was good, too perfect for kids. Overall a good stay, and the Benihana is in the parking lot so dinner isn’t too far. Close to ocean and easy freeway access, plus there’s a Ralph’s across the way if you need essentials. Unfortunately all hotels are quite pricey in California, so it was decent without paying $700/night.
