Nice for solo trip

The service was great and the front desk employees and valet were really nice. I appreciated the late checkout and help with beach amenities. I wish I used the bikes and beach chairs more. The hotel could use some updates and walls are thin. Otherwise, I enjoyed this option for my solo trip!

This property is outdated, smelly, moldy and musty. Don’t be fooled by the beautiful lobby. The hallways are dingy and dark and they smell like a porta-potty. Rooms are tiny and have a musty smell. My allergies went crazy because I’m allergic to mold. I couldn’t wait to leave the hotel. We stayed one night on our way up to Big Sur. I could barely sleep at night. There were all sorts of sounds. The sound of banging pipes, footsteps from above, and there was a weird knocking sound as if someone was hitting a credit card against the nightstand. I also felt a very strange heavy energy in our room. Not sure if it’s haunted or what, but I felt off the moment I stepped into the room. The valet parking fee is insane as is the resort fee. We luckily found street parking and had the resort fee waived. We checked out at 7:30am because we just couldn’t wait to leave.

Not happy with level of service

When we checked in we were not told that our view was 90% obstructed. Once we brought this up to the front desk, they promised to fix the issue. But they never followed through. We repeatedly brought up our dissatisfaction and only until we checked out when they gave us comped us the resort fee. Not the service I expected for a Hyatt facility.

Perfect hotel for family’s

We loved this place , it was a Very nice hotel. The room was clean and nice , location was great for family’s with kids. we wished we would have booked a balcony .. because the ocean views were beautiful!! Only negative - they had some carpets being installed across from us early Friday morning - and there was some partying above us every night until after 2am - Thursday - Sunday ( normally wouldn’t mind but we had our kids with us ). We would stay here again .. just maybe a different room ( balcony )
