Won't be back
My stay was terrible. Other than the location, there is no reason to stay here. 1) I had no idea where the office was to check in, and one of the housekeeping staff had to walk me two blocks through an alley with my bags to check in. 2) The parking situation is a joke! I was supposed to have a parking space, but because they are right by the beach, random people would park in the hotel spaces doing who knows what and I was unable to find a parking space. I ended up parking two blocks away and walking for overnight and had to move it in the AM. 3) The door to the bathroom wouldn't open/close properly as it hit the floor which was obviously uneven. 4) When I called to complain about the above, nobody answered my call.

We liked the property because it was close to the beach. The room was refreshing. We did not like the fact that after viewing the continental breakfast on Expedia it did not exist. The only compensation was to come up and grab a piece of fruit at the office two blocks away. The front end staff wanted me to take a picture of the Expedia photo of the wonderful looking breakfast to report it. I find that very odd as they could go into the Expedia app and see for themselves and make the changes. The overcharged me and the dispute to under review right now. And finally, the bathroom faucet was faulty, a repairman was sent to fix it, and it broke again shortly there after.

Stove, fridge and microwave along with kitchen make the difference. Get more than an average hotel room, put your wetsuit on in your room walk 40 m and paddle out.

Downhill
I used to love this place but it’s gone downhill. First room, the door didn’t work, it could be forced open. Second room had people in it, potentially squatters. We got charged twice. They reversed one charge, but it took almost a week, so we didn’t have access to those funds on our trip. This used to be my favorite spot in PB when visiting San Diego, so I’m definitely bummed.
