8/10 Good
"Original hotel was built in 1890’s and was really well maintained as a historic landmark. Room was quite small for larger historic-style furniture. Staff was attentive, helpful and friendly. Italian restaurant in the hotel was very accessible for guests and food and service was very good!"

"Beautiful view of the pacific from our ocean view room. Had to go through the pool to get to the room. Luckily there were very few swimmers Staff very helpful. Parking can be a challenge. Also our bed had a nightstand only on the right and lighting was not the best Small waterfalls and bright flowers really impressed my wife."
