Anthony offers a pleasant environment and a room with breakfast at a decent rate. The area is a little quiet but it was probably due to our off-season visit. It is probably more vibrant and active in the summer. If you stay here, you'll probably need a car since you are a little isolated from major attractions. You can walk/run/bike to some attractions like Will Rogers State Beach and Santa Monica Pier. Some reviewers have complained about the noise but it did not bother us since we have been city dwellers. The rooms overlook the ocean and the PCH which is the major source of traffic noise. Overall a great trip and Anthony and the Roadhouse staff do whatever it takes to make you comfortable.
