We were just in San Diego for the weekend, and this was a great stay! We liked the close proximity to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. We also really liked the outside lounge area with the chiminea. Room was clean and had a good vibe! The property was nicely decorated for Halloween!

An absolute gem in California! Couldn't have asked for a better stay. The hotel has a really cool, unique Mediterranean charm, and the location is ideal for getting around. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home, and the morning coffee and breakfast were such a delightful touch. Plus, being so dog-friendly made our trip completely stress-free. We’ll definitely be staying here again!

As soon as we pulled onto the property we were amazed with how clean and nice everything was. We were greeted by the very kind staff and checked into our room. The view from our room was stunning and the room was wonderful. The fire pit at night was wonderful and it was a peaceful stay. Will definitely be back!

This hotel well a great stay! The room was clean and well maintained. The only downside was the room was a bit awkward as the bed is in the middle of the room so there were cords, tables and other items that made the room a bit difficult to navigate at night.

Beautiful, cute hotel with Mediterranean style. Nice outdoor chimney and fire pit. The location isn’t great, it’s right on the road with the railway directly in front. You can’t even hear the ocean waves because of the trains going back and forth. The room is tiny and has no wardrobe to put your clothes in.

I highly recommend this property. I have never stayed at a hotel as clean as this property. The rooms were not big but rooms are not meant to hang out in… If you want to chill there’s an outdoor patio looking right at the ocean and the perfect place to have a drink and conversation. I liked it so much I’m making reservations for four more nights.
