You’re paying for the VIEW. Right across the streets is a park where the seals bark 24/7. But, when you close the patio doors, it blocks the noise. Something that surprised me was there isn’t any USB port in the room, so if you go, bring a PLUG ADAPTER with you for your cell or laptop. There is a fridge, but no microwave. While at the park, you can get up close to the seals, seagulls and pelicans. We had a spectacular time. The only thing I would say is recommend is make sure you make your reservation for “the Pines“ as that is the new, an updated part of the hotel. The other half of the hotel is OLD, and not updated, and it looks it. I’m just glad we stayed in the NEWER half.
