Overall for the price this place was good. The location is good as there are plenty of places nearby to eat breakfast and dinner. You will be steps from the beach. The app to open doors was a bit of a pain because well you have to dig your phone out and open the app and hold it by the lock for what seemed like a long time to unlock doors in the building. I prefer a key card. If you're looking for a dark quiet room don't get a balcony. The light on the balcony stays on all night and it's right on a very busy road PCH so you will hear traffic noise. It was too cold and gloomy to use the pool so I have no review on that area. The pillows were too big and bulky for my taste. I prefer a pillow that my head can sink into so that it's not propped up all high when I sleep. Next time I'll bring a pillow from home. Parking was fine I just parked on a back local street a block away.

Overall, my stay was acceptable. However, the excessive smell of bleach upon entry of room was captivating, and the musty smells in the bathroom weren’t something I would have expected from a hotel like Sonder. The noise level is a bit high but to be expected given the location. Balconies looked a bit unsafe to relax on, and the lights being required to be on for all patios is a bit excessive. You can’t sleep with the curtains open unless you enjoy bright light in your face.

Easy check in , clean, location was tough due to being right at the traffic light and people could just stare right into room, so hard to keep the drapes closed at all times which made it very dark and gloomy to not be able to open the drapes also very noisy walls very thin

This property is on the main road there pack really good ear plugs for the road noise but also if you have a floor above you. Units 101-104 are basically on/below the sidewalk next to the main road. It’s basement feeling. No room cleaning unless you pay $35. Parking is very tight on property but they have extra space on the other side of the street. This costs you $16 per day. Pool heater did not work. Checkin was delayed for 1.5-2hrs as the key pads to the “2” units they had available did not work and the calling Center did not have the authority to open the room remotely. They compensated me with free parking. There are no dibs on site to help in these situations which is absurd. So for a whole week with 2 people we had the stress on one fob and NO working key pad and a staff that had no other options for us if we lose that fob or left it in the room by mistake. This is like a huge Airbnb with owners putting up their units in the rental pool.

Overall this is a wonderful beach hotel. It’s small which I like and the common lounge area was a nice place to chat with some of the other guests staying in the hotel. I like that there was beach sand on the stairs as it reminds me that we’re near the beach. The room was comfy although the carpet in my room was a little worn looking and there were hairs on the bathroom counter and sticking to the shower stall. It might not be a bad idea to have a supervisor check each room prior to having a customer use the room. I really loved the convenience of checking in and out! Pretty much everything is done via the app: you receive your building and entry code via your email, you can request towels and cleaning via the app, you can request and pay for an earlier check in via the app… Other then the bathroom being overlooked I had no complaints (the night time security guard was sleeping in the lounge when I had an early morning check out. Not good for building security).

Liked the location. Property is dated and could definitely need an update. Beds are super soft, bathroom is dated and the toilets are tiny LOL. This location had staff and that was really nice. They were very helpful. Felt safe there but you had to make sure the side door closed behind you and it didn't always do that. Overal an ok place to stay.

This hotel was convenient for us having an event on Balboa. I loved the walking to the beach and the Vacancy Coffee shop nearby was incredible. Good dining options close by- but on weekend things open late. The front desk people were great- and helpful. We had a room on the backside and it was quiet.

There apparently is no noise ordinance in this city. At 0140 in the morning we woke to a jackhammer and road construction right outside our window. I understand people noise but really city construction noise? NO WAY.
