"Always wonderful. Room was cleaned everyday and staff is super friendly"

The Franciscan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Only stayed here for one night, but after coming here we wished we stayed much longer. The rooms were wonderful in how they were set up. They seemed much larger and more spacious than a typical hotel room. Even the bathrooms were much bigger than a typical hotel. And everything felt very clean. Not sure if all rooms are set up the same but we were very happy with the actual room. The front desk staff was very good and accomidating. The breakfast in the morning was also very nice. It allows you to get up and going quickly without having to go somewhere else to eat. The beach was a pretty quick walk. It's a good locaiton. Just overall a great place to stay. If we ever come back to the west coast, we will frequent this place again."

"Lovely hotel in a nice location. Free parking. A few issues with the shower not working initially however this seemed to resolve itself. Would stay again"

Mar Monte Hotel, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"The Mar Monte Hotel was a lovely place to stay for a girls getaway... it was right across the street from the beach; the restaurants on site were fantastic, we loved the free bikes and beach chairs, and the pool was great. We had a noisy air conditioner the first night and got moved to a new room with a balcony which was lovely. Great stay!"
