The room was so nice and the bed was very comfortable. I loved the outdoor seating area with chimnea. The staff was very friendly, and service at the bar was wonderful. The food was delicious, and so were the drinks. We walked across the street to the beach in the morning. This place is great value for the money, and I definitely recommend it.

It was amazing. We rode the e-bikes up and down PCH, relaxed on the beach, and by the fireplace on our patio. We had a wonderful time! ##### Jesse Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Korina Oct 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Not worth the higher than usual cost. Had to park across the street because they have more rooms than their lot can accommodate. No pool or hot tub. Also had to keep the blinds down the whole stay because they were really tangled & broken. One of the bed posts broke because it had been poorly repaired with wood glue (see pic). Like 5 staff had to come into our tiny room to assess it and they said it had broke in the same place in the past. We were relieved they didn't blame us. Other than that the bed/pillows were very comfy, staff was friendly, and breakfast croissant & quiche were tasty (although a bit overpriced). ##### Korina Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mendra May 30, 2025 Liked: Amenities We will be back but not in a room above us ##### Mendra Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Nov 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beachfront Beautiful small boutique hotel.
