We stayed at room 101---it is a tiny room but clean, however there was no hot water in the shower. This is the middle of summer, so we let it go. But the bed was so tiny and the mattress so old that it was like sleeping in a college dorm room. The parking is convenient in the hotel courtyard. Now we come to the best of all: the free breakfast at next door old town café which we always love. I think we will return, except to another room.

On Saturday August 29th, my family of 7 had arrived to this hotel. Prior to arriving we had called…read morea week in advance to ask if we could do an early check in, to which they told us to call the day of. This day we had an important family wedding to arrive to and the drive was 8 hours. Everything seemed to be fine until when we called the day of at 11am, as they had told us, they told us to call back at 1:30pm. I also called back before the time they told me just to ask for an estimate, to which the employee that answered sternly told me "I told you to call back at 1:30". We ended up just heading over there sometime after 1:30 since we were tired from the long trip and hoped to at least be able to rest in the lobby. When we got to the lobby we tried asking for updates and the same worker didn't greet kindly at all, she kept her stern tone. ALSO after we finally got our key card, we later realized they only gave us one room when we had booked two rooms when we first booked with the hotel. We tried being understanding since we weren't from the area, but it was very upsetting how we were being treated and how we had tried to plan this "early check in" accordingly with the hotel a week in advance, only to end up having a bad experience.

My friend booked a 1 bedroom/1 bath with full kitchen and a small living area with a pull out sofa…read morebed through VRBO. There was 4 of us that stayed in the condo that sleeps 4. We were on the 2nd floor where we faced the beach and was away from the Main Street. We were above the garages which is probably a nice feature to not have to worry about making too much noise for anyone that would have been on the first floor. The CIS provided everything you would need (aside from your own personal toiletries). We had a small stackable washer and dryer in the unit, there was dish soap, laundry detergent packets and coffee and tea. In the bathroom there was a mounted dispenser for shampoo, conditioner and body wash. I was one of the lucky ones to sleep in the queen bed. It was comfortable but the pillows were really small and disappeared the minute your head laid on them. I feel like there could have been a few more extra pillows around so that each guest could have had 2 pillows. When you open the windows, we got great air flow. It got a little stuffy at night so I would recommend opening the windows a bit if you are on the second floor. The bathroom was large but lacked ventilation as there is no window in it. There was a fan in the bathroom but it wasn't really working well enough. I loved that we were about 1,000 ft from the beach. The manager, Jen was great and making sure we were doing okay. She gave us Sangria on Saturday afternoon and there is fresh pop corn in the lobby. You can borrow beach equipment from the office. We borrowed a few beach chairs. We were a little disappointed when we saw that our unit was not the one featured on VRBO which highlighted a hot tub on the deck. What we saw on VRBO also showed that were would have more than 1 bathroom but we did not get that exact advertisement. I think they just use a standard ad as "the model" but you don't get exactly what is advertised. We were still happy with the condo and the services that we would stay again.

I was initially hesitant about booking this place, as the reviews and pictures didn't quite capture…read morewhat I was expecting. However, I decided to give it a try, and I'm glad I did. I reserved a two-bedroom, 1.5-bath apartment that comfortably accommodated three of us, and it could easily host a family of six thanks to its spacious layout and a convenient pullout couch downstairs. The amenities exceeded my expectations--shower pressure was excellent, making quick and refreshing showers easy especially if you're a big group. The condo includes utilities for four people, with plenty of towels provided (Thanks Tina). While there's no air conditioning, the ocean breeze just a block away kept the unit comfortably cool throughout our stay. A nice bonus was having a hot tub in each unit, perfect for relaxing evenings. Parking was also straightforward, with one dedicated spot included. A heads-up for warmer months: if you're sensitive to heat, keep in mind that summer temperatures can get quite hot, and the unit might feel warm without A/C. Additionally, because of the communal setup, it can get quite loud--sounds from neighboring units are audible--so don't forget your earplugs if you value quiet. Off-season, this spot is ideal for friends' getaways or a quick romantic escape. Overall, a charming and practical choice that offers great value and a fantastic location near the ocean.

It looked perfect due to its saltwater pool and gorgeous photos online. There were so many great reviews...what could go wrong? We booked the guest house as some of the other options that were less pricey did not have pool access according to one of the owners. So we paid the extra couple hundred for the pool. We arrive and all seemed as described in the guest house. Within the first hour my daughter was crawling anround and picked up a cigarette that was on the floor just under the couch. No big deal. We unpack and head to the pool... The pool was green, smelled, and was cloudy (nothing like the photos online). I message right away and get a text back indicating the levels were tested that day and were fine. Hmm. At this point I didn't know what we could do other than make the best of it. We decide to make some food as we were told the kitchenette included a convection oven. Nope nothing but a microwave. So we order take out instead $$. My son wanted to roast marshmallows bc I told him there was a fire pit outdoors. We head over and it's filled with leaves. This was also the case with the outdoor bbq. Not a big deal but we didn't spend the money to clean the amenities, and we were worried about the smoke if we left the leaves. On our last day my son opens a little decorative box in the living room to find a green rotten string cheese yikes! It is important to note the guest house has sliding glass doors at the entrance of the guest house. Directly in front is where guests of the main house will park. Our view was of 5 cars and there was a lot of activity so we had to keep curtains shut the entire time. FYI- There is no sink for washing dishes or baby bottles. We had to make do with the bathroom sink. Once returned I let them know how the stay was and I was told they found out the pool had been clogged and they were out of the country. They offered a discount next time which was appreciated but I honestly feel we should have been compensated. I sent a text and emailed my thoughts but am getting no response. They were quick to respond when it came to booking and taking my 500$ deposit. I'm so bummed about this experience because it is a beautiful place if it were maintained and if the pool were safe to put the kids in. Last photo is of us making the most of it on the rock :)

There are more reviews under Thornhill Broome Beach. This…read morereview is for TENT CAMPING. This spot is really meant for RV camping. The bathrooms were disgusting. Porta potties we're almost FULL. They needed to be emptied and weren't the days I was there, Vuly 2023). The water stations were gross. Highway was loud. All of the trash cans were full. No place to throw trash away. Had to take it with you. You pretty much need to have an RV to enjoy this place. Too windy for tent camping. Because of the bend of California, this beach is extremely windy. You better have 4 people to help put up a tent, otherwise it will blow away. Also makes swimming unpleasant in the afternoon and evening, it's just too windy. Absolutely zero shade. No trees or covered areas. Would NOT recommend for non RV campers or for families with kids. Waves, wind, and current too strong.

Wow! wonderful place to be if if you're camping or going to be here for a day!…read more I went camping here for 2 nights, nothing really went wrong. The sand was clean and there wasn't too much litter and I really enjoyed my time here. To make things better, when the stars came out I could see most of them clearly, it looked extraordinary. The only downside was the bathroom ( basically porta potties). The bathroom was disgusting and they shouldn't be too lazy and just make real bathrooms. To wrap things up,this is a great place to life,but make sure you come prepared.

On a road trip up the coast, we spotted this campground and knew we had to try it. A few months…read morelater, we finally snagged a spot -- and it was so worth it. Thornhill Broome is right on the sand. You park directly at your site and set up camp just steps from the ocean, with the PCH right behind you. The views, the breeze, and the sound of the waves crashing at night make the whole experience unforgettable. The pricing is very affordable, but keep in mind: there's no shade no lights no sinks only porta‑potties It's a very simple, rugged, beach‑front campground -- so come fully prepared. They do sell firewood on site, which is convenient. The closest stores are in Malibu, about a 20‑minute drive away. If you're looking for a true beach‑camping experience with unbeatable ocean access, this spot is hard to beat.

The good: decent spacing between sites, close proximity to things to do and amenities. During the entire seventh month day, we witnessed total lack of maintenance, security and safety in this park. There are two bath houses-one at the office and one at the center of the camp. The one at the office is maintained much better than the one at the center of the camp, which is the one most people find closest to use. These bathrooms are constantly out of toilet paper, are filthy, and for six months the three toilet ladies room has only had one toilet working. The men's room has water flowing over the floor most of the time-total safety issue. There is zero lighting at night near the bathrooms and people have fallen, it's a wonder they haven't been sued. There is no way to see where the sidewalk ends and the street starts. Even the camp host is extremely frustrated because they report these issues to the office and nothing is done. Several campers have complained to the office, and nothing is done. There was a resident here with two huge, very aggressive dogs and many of us complained about these dogs because they would lunge at people, including children when they went by and they would bark incessantly. The office actually lied and said no one has complained when we mentioned it to them because several neighbors informed us that they too complained long before we did. Staff can be very snarky when you present complaints and concerns. Just the fact that they don't care about our safety astound us. Warning - don't even chance arriving at night after dark because you will surely scrape your rig from the lack of maintenance to the trees along the roadway. One of our neighbors has deep gouges on his unit from this. The staff travels the wrong way on the roadway constantly, but don't you dare do it as a camper. Weeds everywhere. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

There are many pull-thru sites here. They sites appeared well taken care of with fresh green grass. There were two dog parks. Neither had water by the dog parks to help with clean-up nor did they have bags or a garbage can. We did use the laundry by check-in. It was FREE to campers. There were two washers. One was broken and appeared to have been broken for some time. There were four dryers and two were broken. The location here was perfect. The commissary and NEX were good sized and there were plenty of activities on and off base. Beaches were close. Maintenance staff and host were friendly and always seemed to be working on one thing or another. WI-Fi worked great. A negative -- Office staff ... not so friendly. There were two in the office at check-in and the brunette was a little curt. I wasn't in a hurry to go back there at all. It would have been nice to have received a map of the area. We thought this a nice place and would consider returning if in the area.
