Heute beherbergt das Hotel ein Restaurant namens 1400 Bar & Grill, im ersten Stockwerk befindet sich ein Apartment-Hotel, und im zweiten Geschoß sind Büros. Die Ausstattung des Restaurants erinnert an jene Zeit, in welchem der benachbarte Vergnügungspark Neptune Beach in Betrieb war (1917–1939).

Das Croll Building ist als bedeutsames, schützenswertes historisches Wahrzeichen anerkannt, sowohl vom Bundesstaat Kalifornien[1] wie auch vom US-Innenministerium.[2]
