Very happy to have found Inn At East Beach! Pet friendly, clean and beautifully located. Minutes walk to the beach. Rooms are not fancy but everything we needed. No AC, which was challenging but the hotel provided TWO fans which was perfect. Will definitely be coming back and staying again.

Easy access to beach/Zoo and waterfront. Friendly and helpful staff. Room was clean, but needed some TLC i.e., torn and missing curtains, screen on one window was broken, grab bar in shower was loose. Also, didn't realize there's no AC in the rooms. Got hot in the afternoon. Thankfully it was cooler at night and the rooms have a ceiling fan. Had to keep windows open though and heard a lot of noise from the freeway and train.
