The Broadlind is a great place to stay if you're looking for both urban and traditional Southern California beach activities. The area is chock full of coffee houses, bars, art galleries and restaurants - all within walking distance. I stayed for a week and walked to the beach every day and partied in the city at night. The building itself is very old, but has been updated nicely. Lots of character and a bit quirky. This ain't the Weston, but who cares? The Broadlind is for those looking for a unique experience. I look forward to staying there again.
