Love the vehicle charging stations.
Nice views of the water. Love the charging stations on the property. It was great having my car charged up and ready to go each morning. The charges are so fast that I was able to charge a couple of hours and then move my car closer to my room. Really great amenity.

Great location to relax after flying long haul from Australia and hiring a car at LAX to start our epic adventure. Friendly staff and great location to recover from jet lag. The breakfast was also more than adequate to start a road trip up to San Francisco the next day.
