Granted folks from Kansas are not use to oceans of water. Our stay here was the perface experiance. We wanted to stay near the beach and we found the perfact place. We were able to walk (less than 100 yards) to the beach to experiance the most beautiful sunrise. The rooms were very comfortable and nastalgic,the beds were soft, and... more

We booked the $199 room. It is not the one shown on the website by any means. Really shabby. I don't mind old; I don't mind small; I don't even mind not-remodeled-in-a-long-time. But the furnishings just weren't nice. Moreover, it was very hot and seemed that it probably wouldn't cool down at night. The old rooms simply need a little... more

We just came from this quaint hotel right at the end of the pier, we had a great time and loved the room, very clean and charming. Staff was very welcoming and helpful. We loved the atmosphere and the view was great! We will be back for sure!! and recommend a suite. MP & JT Santa Clarita, CA more

This is the NOISIEST hotel I have ever stayed in. The charming, open patio areas on the ground level and second floor are pleasant to sit in and chat during the day -- but people continue to sit and chat and yell and run up and down the stairs ALL NIGHT. Just when you think you're going to drift off... more

We made the mistake of believing what was shown on the website for how the rooms looked. WRONG. The rooms on the website are part of the "new" hotel of which there are a very very limited number. The hotel rooms in the old part of the hotel are beat up. Cracked tiles, very noisy, and hot! I would not... more

The noise from the bar across the street was bad enough, but when night management does nothing (except make excuses) to keep other guests from partying and swearing right outside your window till 3:30 in the morning; that is inexcusable. We had to call and complain 3+ times several of the nights we were there. Our room/bath was in need... more

Great location at the foot of the pier. Easy walk to the beach, or the interesting shops and restaurants in the Balboa area. However.... It's perhaps the noisiest hotel we've ever stayed at. You have to understand the architecture. The brochure shows the new, airconditioned, sealed window wing of the hotel. With a price to match. The older, original building... more

The delux rooms are sooo small and hot and lacking in every thing. The hotel is OLD and has no upgrades. The bar has over priced drinks, $8 beer. The lack of air conditioning is top on my list of never going back to this hotel. the hotel staff claim that if you book on expedia (or any on line... more

We booked a room in the Inn at an off-season price of $199 and then upgraded for another $100, making the rate $299. The $299 room was gorgeous and had many amenities, but the air conditioner was on top of the roof above the room, causing constant noise. The toilet was broken and ran all night. The next day we... more
