The oldest hotel in OC. Opened in 1932. She's quaint and cozy. Located right on the boards with a couple of restaurants on the bottom level. The location is great. This is not a luxury stay. This is perfect for spending the day on the beach or the boards and having a nice room to relax in before heading back out for the evening.

We have Stayed here multiple times,
For the rates & location it’s always a sweet deal.
Clean, quiet, and right on the boardwalk.
They even have rooms with multiple beds and small kitchenette , perfect if you have kids.

Cant wait to return this season.

Definitely recommend to anyone.

What a great on the beach hotel. Yes, it's 1950's funky...but that's the whole charm of the place! Excellent location right on the boardwalk. Plenty of parking. Nice little coffee shop in the lobby. The manager and staff were very nice and hospitable. The room i had came with a kitchenette and a side balcony. Ok, so it's got a 1960's era stove, and the ceiling is only 7' high, but the room was large and the bed comfy!! And it's very affordable. Yes! I'd stay there again!!
