The room we stayed in was immaculately clean & comfortable (nice mattress & crisp linens). The Spanish colonial decor is so charming and so fitting for SoCal... and the view from our ocean facing patio room was amazing. Our patio was perfect for enjoying the ocean at sunset, and the chiminea kept us cozy and warm so we could continue to enjoy the patio as the temperature dropped into the evening. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well. This was the perfect place for us to stay for a quick 2-day anniversary getaway from San Diego. We can't wait to come back! ##### Marigress Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bryant Jul 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great stay ##### Bryant Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter Oct 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities A hidden gem at the base of Capo Beach.

The room had a view of the ocean and a porch to sit on (we were on second floor. The door to the room was a dutch door which was fun and let in the breeze. Great amenities including a record player and records. Very charming lobby with a fireplace and small bar and bookshelves - almost like a B&B. They serve food albeit limited. We just had a drink outside. I wish we could have stayed more days. ##### Mary Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Susan Dec 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Staff was courteous, but not very informative. Upon check in, they should be telling you about the hotel and what it has to offer. We had no idea they served any type of breakfast or had Ebikes for use. They should have shown the menus or had them in the room. There were no instructions on how to use the coffee pot in the room, The rooms could use slippers. I would not say this was a luxury property. ##### Susan Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen Aug 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We really enjoyed our stay in this place!
