What really impressed me was how thoughtful the staff is about the little things that make them stand out. Such as free propel packets at checkin, a nook with free sand toys, towels, chairs, games, boogie boards etc. The parking lot has shade, a shower for rinsing off sand, and a bathroom. Very handy when just running for a quick bathroom break. Rooms are very comfortable and cute and include all the basic amenities and a little extra. Super short walk to the beach and the bike path is literally right there. This will probably be our go to place now when we come to the beach.

Shawn and his wife were pleasant.
Breakfast was minimal. Parking was tight. It is an older building, so a guest on the 2nd floor will listen to guests on the 3rd floor walking. A/C, motorcycles on PCH and the elevator were noisy.
On a more positive note, beach access is very close. Nearby residents seem friendly.
I was hoping for something a little nicer for $165 a night. 3 out of 5 is the best I can do.

Location near the beach and walkable dining options are a big plus for this property. “Park side” rooms face toward the beach and are largely shielded from the noise of the Pacific Coast Highway. Hallways and rooms are designed to deal with Sand for the beach and so are not carpeted. Beds are comfortable, but seating in the rooms is limited to straight back chairs. Breakfast options are simple and are distributed by a staff member. I have stayed at the property several times and find it a great value or the area. Sunset beach is more charming and simple than nearby Huntington Beach, which tends to be a bit more expensive.

The location of the hotel is just perfect. You have a short walk to the beach and you have a grocery store across the street.
The hotel is very old and rundown, and I don’t even know if a facelift would help it. It needs to be completely remodeled. The building looked as if there were parts that were ready to just fall apart with that said I will say the rooms themselves were clean. The cleaning service did a great job. They did serve coffee and tea in the morning and they had a continental breakfast. For me it did not work because it was sugar cereal packages, or packaged danish like from a venting machine, you could also order pancakes, which is what my granddaughter did each morning, but they were like rubber kinda like Moochie . On the other hand, they did have fresh bananas, and oranges, which was controlled by a person who handed them to you if you asked. In order to sit down and eat, you had to go on top of the third floor where there was a terrace, which had picnic table setting or a couch and chair setting. It was nice up there however, it never got clean the whole time we were there.

Everyone that worked there was very kind and helpful and professional, so I would give five stars to the employees.
The hotel is about one block from the beach. We had to cross the street which was easy to cross. Then there is a housing track that goes along the beach, we go between them and then we get to the beach very easy access, beach was clean and had a lifeguard.

It’s close to all kinds of restaurants and a brewery so that was nice. Overall it was a good stay.

It was just alright, the location is amazing, however the building is old and showing it wear and tear, manager was nice enough, breakfast situation was just weird, not being able to grab what you wanted had to ask for certain items with just fruit and packages cereal, they have used toy and beach accessories area which is cool in practice but was just off putting the beach chair was gross looking, the beach was a 2 min walk and well worth the visit, the bed and pillows were fine but very outdated, and the fridge had rust stains all over the front of it, paid for the location not for the “stay”

Our group booked this hotel for a children's competition, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing.

The front desk employee was consistently unhelpful, arrogant, and reluctant to assist guests. He was also rude and passive-aggressive toward the children in our group, which was especially disappointing given the nature of our stay.

The elevator was unreliable and even broke down for over 30 minutes while a family was trapped inside. In addition, the room key cards frequently stopped working, causing unnecessary inconvenience.

The continental breakfast was poorly managed. Guests had to stand in line at a counter to receive food, and there was not enough breakfast available for our group despite the hotel knowing in advance about our booking. When concerns were raised, management was reluctant to provide additional food.

What was most troubling was the manager's behavior toward the children. He yelled at kids for accidentally dropping a few sugar packets while preparing a drink. He also picked up a sugar packet from the floor and handed it to an adult in our group as if it should still be used, which was both unprofessional and unhygienic.

The only consistently positive aspect of our stay was the housekeeping staff, who did an excellent job keeping the rooms clean and were pleasant to interact with.

Overall, the poor customer service, lack of hospitality, elevator issues, and inadequate breakfast experience made this a stay we would not recommend.

The room was dirty… what a disappointment! The General Manager got upset because I called for a late morning checkout at 10:30 pm… which is very odd considering the nature of Hotels is all people coming late or, early but he is one of the most inauthentic, disingenuous people you’ll come across. He is also a little creepy and may even be the owner given how he responds to all of the bad reviews on here - very childishly (scroll & see them for yourself). So beware of that negative energy. Great location but not a destination-worthy experience.
